Hi, Hair. I do the Carnation show every year. Small show, not many problems. We do have access to the cops and the firemen, but usually I have to handle it before they show up. (The locals know ALL the shortcuts)
He had no authority to be on your property without a search warrant. Therefore no, I don't think you are being overheated at all. But I am curious, did you go down and talk to his boss? That a$$hat needs to be put back in his place.
Officer, this is all private property and we'll stand where we like.
If the fireworks are "too close", MOVE THEM!
And by the way, what science did you use to determine "too close"?

If it had been me? I'da stepped outta my trailer with my wife-beater shirt and my Buttweiser, Marlboro danglin' from my lips, a half dozen bottle rockets stuffed in my back pocket... I would have trained my one-eyed glassy stare at the ociffer and told him to kiss mah butt! He ain't got no right to step a dang foot on mah property...
Then I woulda had to yell at Darlene to git back in the trailer and take the rugrats wit her and shut up that damn dog! He's irritatin' the crap outta me...
That's whatta I woulda done, I tell you whut...
Nope. And I moved. ;)
Ha, ha.
Good on ya!
Yes, those thoughts crossed my mind, and perhaps I might even have been intelligent enough to limit my actions to that, but I know I was pretty hot when he was hollering at me and my guests from the park. Managing to contain myself when, as I was told, he came on my property would have taken extra effort.
I've decided to keep a low profile on this incident, our little community is less than friendly to its citizens.
