Oregon permits only ground-based and novelty "retail" fireworks. Any device that flies into the air, explodes, or travels more than 12 inches up or 6 feet along the ground is illegal for consumers without a state permit. Local jurisdictions may further restrict or ban (ORS 480.110–480.165).

CaliforniaConditional
Only "safe and sane" fireworks — those examined, tested and registered by the State Fire Marshal and carrying its seal — may be sold or used, and then only in cities and counties that allow them; many California jurisdictions ban all consumer fireworks (Health & Safety Code §§ 12529, 12541, 12671). "Dangerous" fireworks, including firecrackers, sky rockets and Roman candles, are illegal to possess without a permit (§ 12677).

IdahoConditional
In Idaho, the public may buy and use only "nonaerial common fireworks" statewide, and only from midnight June 23 through midnight July 5 and midnight December 26 through midnight January 1 — each window extendable by up to five days by the local authority having jurisdiction (Idaho Code § 39-2606). Aerial fireworks are not legal for consumer use inside Idaho without a display permit; Idaho stands may still stock them under the chapter's export and interstate-commerce exemption (§ 39-2610(6)).
