What can you buy and use?

Wyoming's current firework laws allow the purchase of all fireworks that meet CPSC and PHSMA rules. So you can buy any fireworks on our site and set them off during allowed times.

Age

You have to be 16+ to buy and sell fireworks. (As our site uses credit cards and other payment methods that require a contract that requires you to be of legal age to sign or have the permission of a legal guardian to use we consider all sales to be authorized by someone of legal age for buying. For most states this is 18+).

Shipping

Processing is typical 24 hours with freight shipping to Wyoming is about 4-5 days as with all freight it does not ship on the weekends.

Times

The use of consumer fireworks is now limited to days surrounding four holidays: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and New Year's Eve. This may be restricted by county or city so make sure to check your local regulations.
