> in Ohio launching bottle rockets is an M-1 misdemeanor carrying up to a six month prison sentence

I wonder if we're thinking of the same kind of bottle rocket... like a plastic soda bottle propelled into the air by water and/or compressed air? Why is the penalty so severe?

I've played with those too, but the bottle rockets I got in trouble for were small fireworks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyrocket
