Not sure about now, but back in the 90's, to get a retailers fireworks license in La., you had to buy $300 worth of fireworks + a $25 IIRC license fee from a wholesaler. You would not believe what $300 at wholesale prices would buy back then. These days, I dont know what the rules are.
I took a $100 to a friend that had a stand and said 'fix me up'. He just kept piling fireworks on the table and I dont just mean the cheap stuff. Remember the big paper bags you got at the grocery store. I had 4 of them stuffed full. Told him that was too much and he was losing money. He laughed and said he only made about 75%-100% on me, dont tell anyone....
He's the fellow that told me how to get a license. The next year, 3 of us went together and got the license and more fireworks than we knew what to do with.
