Here's a good explanation of Florida law:

Most of the fireworks on the beach here are purchased in Alabama. The law here is rarely enforced, but one Fourth of July when there was a drought lots of tourists were surprised to have their fireworks confiscated. I've seen the dunes catch fire in a dry year, and in any weather I've seen boardwalks and balconies catch fire.

So why does Walmart sell them?
Walmart should only be selling the legal ones. Publix also. I haven't seen bottle rockets etc in either store. They sell sparklers and fountains that stay on the ground. The flying exploding ones are illegal in Florida, but the state line isn't that far away and a lot of people go buy them there or bring them down with them.
