Because sometimes you just want to blow something up!
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I don't think I have ever set off an entire pound of Tannerite all at once. Stuff like this helps you get to know your neighbors, hopefully they want to participate in the fun but some folks don't cotton to explosions...
Then I suppose you could really ramp it up and do something like this!
Unless your neighbors love you and/or you live waaaaaay out in the sticks you would probably have some 's'plainin to do...

Gun owners and recreational shooters now have a new regulation to deal with. Effective Aug. 2, the U.S. Forest Service for the Rocky Mountain Region (Region 2) has banned exploding targets from all National Forests and National Grasslands. For Park County, this order includes Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest.
According to the Forest Service, there have been seven wildfires started by exploding targets in Region 2 since January 2012, for a total of 1,187 acres burned at a cost to the taxpayer of about $2.9 million.
Colorado had two of those fires – the Springer Gulch fire 3.5 miles from Lake George in southeastern Park County, which burned 1,145 acres in June 2012, and the Galuchie fire, which burned 14 acres west of Loveland in March 2012.
Besides Colorado, the ban covers Kansas, South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming, for a total of 22 million acres of forest and grasslands in those five states. The Regional Closure Order was issued on Aug. 5 and is in effect from Aug. 2 of this year through Aug. 2, 2014. The ban is subject to renewal on or before the effective end date.
