Shooting Off Fireworks Outside Lubbock? Pick Up Your Trash Get our free mobile app You should already know that shooting off fireworks inside the city limits of Lubbock is illegal. If you didn't know that, you should read my piece from yesterday where the City of Lubbock warned about the dangers of setting off fireworks in Lubbock. Again, it's illegal to set off fireworks in Lubbock and doing so could lead to dogs being scared, veterans having a really, really bad night, and your neighbors hating you. It could also lead to fires and fines. Because of that, many people decide to head outside the city limits a set off fireworks there. The good news? It's legal, but you really should have the landowners permission. In the real world, we know that a lot of people just go out towards Buffalo Springs Lake or head in which ever direction they want to blow up stuff and celebrate Independence Day.
