Either way, thank goodness for people like the bartender who called in the threat and the police for picking him up and doing it quietly.

Living in a city where a firework explosion ("regular new-years-eve-fireworks" catching fire inside an enclosed area) killed 23, injured 950 and levelled an entire neighbourhood, I'd say fireworks would classify as a weapon if he intended to use them indoors or in close vicinity to others.
