HOME DEFENSE? Oh, you mean against zombies, of course. Very effective.

I hope you aren't seriously suggesting that anyone would ever set a raccoon on fire!!

This is written like an advertisement. I'm surprised there's not a hyperlink in the answer to the product on Amazon.

Many Southeastern states, such as mine, use flame throwers in the process of "controlled burning" which burns dry "fire fuel" that intensifies forest fires. Those concerned about reducing the risk of major forest fires should be thankful that flame throwers are not "outlawed" Nationwide.

When raccoon used to get on the porch, mama would just chase them off with a broom. Forest Gump

Felicity, Do you not also find it odd that the only state that has outlawed them is also one of the worst U.S. states for forest and brush fires??

I thought they were banned in California because they couldn't safely light a blunt.

Player #1065361, Humor! Just humor. Many of us are old enough to remember it.

lisamc6966, Yeah we don't like watching everything burn. Fortunately we have awesome firefighters

It's getting so I don't even read the detailed answers anymore, much less the comments. They're becoming more and more like this situation. Instead of sticking to facts, the submitter injects a personal opinion (in this case, the comment "amazingly still"), and off we go down the partisan political slide of rants and insults. Some of us are just TIRED of it, ya know?

kingTroy, He may have called it socialism, but it wasn’t socialism, just as Russia used the term communism when it wasn’t.

Flamethrowers are not legal to own in the state of Maryland. If caught with one, it is punishable with a fine and mandatory imprisonment.

FIREWORKS ARE ILLEGAL AS WELL THANK GOD.!I WAS VERY GLAD WHEN THEY WERE BANNED. BUT HERE IN TEXAS THEY ARE STILL USED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO MESS WITH THEM.

I didn't understand why the Navy or Air Force couldn't put out the fire in Hawaii a year or two ago. Had plenty of water right there in the ocean.

Since so many wildfires are set by bed-wetting weirdos, it's probably a good idea not to tempt them with a flamethrower.

Rook
I just looked it up, as a resident of Marylandistan, it's unavailable in Maryland. It's legal in CA with a pyrotechnics license.

nimblemoon, they would burn you if they could!

"This flamethrower is known by the state of California to cause cancer."

Player #24210413, there's a lot going on in California that is contrary to common Sense. Maybe that is part of the reason people are leaving it.

Player #24210413, It would be crazy for flamethrowers to be legal in California. There are too many fires due to dryness from lack of rain. I'm glad they're illegal here!!

Birdiemom, according to 'Adrian's Undead Diary', "... zombie: bad. Zombie on fire: worse."

firewood can be tricky to start in moist conditions. Fire torch saves the evening!

I guessed California, it has to be the "only state" too many nonsense rules.

rellis
Also not legal in Maryland, per XM website

Buzzem
No one mentioned the nested parenthetical in the explanation? Cmon people that is extra effort for our entertainment!

I said I'm on the shooter and you guys are hilarious I can't believe I didn't funny you guys are in the comments you guys are making me cry I'm laughing so hard

Tiesha
I dunno why not with that dry air they have and all those forest fires

iLoveMyPresident
nothing is legal in California.... that was super easy

GI Joe
I figured everything is illegal in California so why not. Plus with all the wild fires I could see how they would illegal.

I thought Elon Musk was developing flame throwers at one point. Can't be sure where I heard it...guessing his interview with Joe Rogan. Anyone care to expand on it?

Felicity, Many northern states use them to melt ice.
