Imagine telling your insurance about your newest purchase.

They'll probably ask for a referral, it's legal in 48 states.

Ok so.... I'm guessing CA and NY are the two that have outlawed flamethrowers for non roofers and non combatants?

I know damn well the roofers in CA have flame throwers, they're small-ish, and can only shoot a 7'-8' flame, but they definitely have them.

Only 8'! What monsters are they fighting on those rooftops?

8" sounds more like a large torch than a flamethrower to me, IDK how they classify things tho.
