Because. Also, flamethrower aren't considered weapons by the government, so the only states that limits you from buying one is California and Ohio and Maryland banned them.

Ohio has a ban too? The company that makes these is based in Ohio lol

Not a ban, a restriction. Like California, you need a permit. Sorry if I made that confusing.

Ok new life goal. Be that guy at the DMV with a permit for a flamethrower arguing with the civil servant that "because it is cool" is a valid reason

Of course they are…

California allows roofers to have flamethrowers. They use them for curing something in the roofing tiles(? I don't know the proper term for those things. They're basically cardboard covered in tar and gravel, possibly a thin layer of asphalt?).

It was a bit unnerving the first few times I heard the roofers doing their thing.

They're called shingles, asphalt shingles being the most common in most parts of the US because they're relatively inexpensive.

Ok how the hell did Ohio limit flamethrowers? We’re the Florida of the north

[-] ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Apparently the company is even based here in Cleveland

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Didn’t expect Cleveland felt more dayton with the whole lunatic idea with military applications thing
