Montana Legalizes Bottle Rockets And Roman Candles After Decades-Long Ban
For the first time in decades, fireworks like bottle rockets and Roman candles are legal to use in Montana.
On a 90-degree Wednesday at a Black Cat fireworks stand in Helena, manager Barbara Hrella shows me the new sky rockets in stock ahead of the Fourth of July.
“It’s just unique because they are so compact. And so the sodium nitrate that’s in there with the gunpowder is just so concentrated this little guy just goes up and does its own thing by itself independently,” Hrella says.
Hrella says the newly legal bottle rockets and Roman candles have been popular among customers.
