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.

IdahoRestricted
In Idaho only nonaerial common fireworks — ground spinners, fountains, sparklers, smoke devices and snakes — may be sold and used by the public. Firecrackers, bottle rockets and other aerials require a public-display permit. (Stands sell aerials via buyer affidavit for purported out-of-state use.)

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.

WashingtonConditional
Washington's state-legal consumer fireworks include fountains, ground spinners, sparklers, smoke devices and some with a limited aerial or audible effect, but bottle rockets and missiles are not state-legal and local bans can prohibit all of it.
