So far, no guns however! We party on the outskirts of town, so maybe that's why. (San Antonio) My SIL knows most of the neighbors and it's all fireworks as far as we know.

However, one girl got hit in the head with a bottle rocket in the 1990's. After that San Antonio passed a fireworks ban. But it isn't enforced at all.
