These are state laws; I'll take your word that your local jurisdiction has no additional legislation. I have to agree with you that these statutes are ridiculously lax.

At the state level I don't think the laws are too lax. What I find too lax is that there is nothing at the city/county level that is more stringent. And I wouldn't take Beth at her word that there are no laws at the county level because my impression is her belief that this is so is based upon what one officer said.
At the least I would do a web search entering the county and state with the word law and see what turns up. A call to the attorney/prosecutor's office requesting information would also likely turn up better info than the word of one cop.
My neighbor is a cop and the laws here forbid using any type of firework that flies or explodes, but from what he said he routinely does nothing about complaints if the people firing them off aren't launching them at someone.
