In California, there is no state permit for "Safe & Sane" use, but only a licensed pyrotechnician may fire aerials or display fireworks, and local approval governs even Safe & Sane.

ColoradoConditional
In Colorado, only non-aerial consumer fireworks (fountains, sparklers, ground spinners) are legal statewide; no personal permit is required for those. Aerials and firecrackers are prohibited, sellers must be state-licensed, and local fire bans frequently prohibit even legal items.

NevadaConditional
Nevada is county-option (NRS 244.367): each county decides whether consumer fireworks may be sold or used, so legality varies across the state. Where they are allowed, no statewide personal permit is required; public-display permits come from the local fire authority.

In New Mexico, permissible consumer fireworks are legal (firecrackers, aerial spinners, and missile rockets are not). Retail permits run through the State Fire Marshal, and the Governor may temporarily ban fireworks during drought. Municipalities may restrict aerial and ground-audible devices.
