When I was a kid and teenager we used quarter sticks of dynamite in
traps for foxes, in the Indiana orchards and in place of fire crackers.
Uncles used it in their own small coal mines or dog holes
Dynamite was common and used by Farmers etc all over the place. We
weren't worried about Terrorists. Indeed, terrorists would have provided
a bit of diversion.
I bet he would die of appleplexy if he though the Farmers now used it.
Now you have to hire a licensed outfit to use it for you.
Of course City folks didn't/don't need it.
They were/are dangerous though and nitwits found out the hard way.

Not the original M80s, like back in the '60s. The BATF has
reclassified them as HE (high explosives) and it's class D felony to
be caught with one. There are wimpy bogus M80s and perhaps some
illegally imported one's, but it's not like 1964 when you could
legally buy a gross of the real deal for about $10 in any one of a
dozen states.

How in the hell did we ever survive our childhood? I seem to
remember being able to purchase WWII surplus hand grenades.

Gracious. Not sure I'd ever have a use for one of them.
