Personal Fireworks use in New Jersey

For the life of me, I can't find a simple explanation of what a NJ resident can do with fireworks after the new law was passed last year.


ShopRite is selling fireworks. Does this mean I can buy whatever they're selling and just shoot them off on my front lawn?


I was under the impression that hand-held sparklers and in-ground sparklers and smoke devices are legal to use in NJ (as of mid-2017), but not explosive and aerial fireworks such as firecrackers, Roman candles, sky rockets and bottle rockets.


^This.  Fountains are ok AFAIK, for example. I’d you can shoot it at someone, no go.  


Just color?  Fine. 

Bang?  Not fine.  


I haven't looked closely at what they're selling at ShopRite, but I have to assume that they're only selling legal stuff, right?

And is it limited to certain holidays?


anything sold in a NJ store (excluding shady operations) would be legal to use in NJ
