Big Cheap Bomb, indeed

Thank goodness Indiana has just reworked its fireworks law:

HAMMOND, Ind. -- Investigators believe the fire that completely destroyed a fireworks store Thursday morning was arson.

The blaze began at 4:45 a.m. at the Big Cheap Bombs, on the 1000 block of 5th Ave. in the northwest Indiana city, according to Hammond Fire Investigator Rich Wheeler.

Otherwise, the arsonist would have had to take the fireworks store to Ohio before setting it off, or at least promised to.
