CaliforniaRestricted
California allows only ground, handheld and novelty fireworks — the "Safe and Sane" class: fountains, spinners, snap caps, cones, and sparklers that do not explode, fly, or move across the ground. Firecrackers, rockets, aerial shells and oversize sparklers are "dangerous" and illegal for the public.

NevadaConditional
Nevada sets no statewide consumer-fireworks standard, so which types are legal varies by county. Urban counties are strict (Clark allows only "safe and sane"; Washoe bans all consumer fireworks), while several rural counties allow the full aerial line. Always check the specific county or city rule.
