I would be under a jail for all the experiments I carried out. Without admitting anything, yep. Glad I grew up in an era when 'boys could be boys'.

This is just good clean fun, shouldn’t be a criminal matter. They should have set it off on their own property though.

I remember having just list the fuse of one I built with firecrackers, then looking over and seeing a cop parked on the street watching me.

Those sound more like pipe bombs than cannons.
They could have just ordered some thundermugs and not scattered shrapnel around.
Not a good idea to FILL any cannon with powder and try to fire it.

A kid I heard of wired firecrackers to his sister’s overhead light so when she flipped it on the firecrackers would go off....lol

Give’em a break. There ain’t that much to do down in Clover, SC.
(Although there used to be a good antique car show each summer. Close the main street down for it. Don’t know if they still do that...)

I guess I could have been classified as a future convict.
Lucky for me I wasn’t caught. Have two degrees and just retired from the Army after 27 years of service.

I got chewed out but fortunately those were my last firecrackers. The evidence kinda burned up.
That was in Iowa and the fine was $100 for each firecracker at the time. I was more worried about my Mom than the cop.

Both Campbell and Ghorley were charged with two counts each of manufacturing explosives. This is the problem with our society today. These two seem like idiots who thought it would be fun to build and shoot a cannon. Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do and perhaps it could have been dangerous, but why in the Hell are they being charged with "manufacturing explosives" as if they were some terrorists? Our society is overly-criminalized.

They should have set it off on their own property though.Yep. Hand 'em a metal detector, make 'em clean up all the shrapnel wearing orange coveralls, and pay for fixing the church. Mebbe a public apology on Sunday...
At the very least, it'll teach them to make better welds, not overload their cannon, and be more discreet...
