Illinois bans nearly all fireworks, not just commercial grade. You can basically only buy sparklers or tiny fountains.
You have to visit Wisconsin or Indiana to get anything that pops, spins, bangs, or flies. Even those little ground spinners are banned in Illinois and they are hardly “commercial grade”.
