Thermonator, the first "flamethrower-wielding robot dog," is completely legal in 48 US states.
You're viewing a single thread.
Also: Which 2 states are the sane ones where this would be illegal?
Edit: California and Maryland. And you can have one in California, if you get a special permit.
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
Apparently the company is even based here in Cleveland
Didn’t expect Cleveland felt more dayton with the whole lunatic idea with military applications thing
No, the question is why not?
Where's the robot to clean up the flaming, decapitated gopher carcasses off my lawn?
They have an app for that now. It's like Uber but somehow even treats their "contractors" in a worse fashion. It's called Flameaway.

Not needed, because they get flamed while they're in their burrows underground. So all you have to do is plug up the holes after the bot comes out and you're done.
Because, Awesome!
Screw those states, flamethrowers are awesome and I want to see more of them.
