Generally, flamethrowers are legal. 。
Just as Elon Musk has incited enthusiasm, discourse, and frustration about the realities of colonizing Mars, he has successfully done something similar for flamethrowers. His tunneling company, The Boring Company, sold 20,000 flamethrowers this week and is now sold out of the $500 flame igniters. 。
SEE ALSO:Someone is already trying to stop sales of Elon Musk's flamethrower 。A flamethrower generally refers to a stream of fire emitted from some sort of torch-like contraption -- not actual balls of fire being hurled or thrown into the air. Elon Musk's flamethrower, for instance, produces a stream of fire that looks to be a foot or so in length -- although flamethrowers can certainly produce longer flames. 。

— Elon Musk (elonmusk) February 1, 2018 。 While it would be difficult to irrefutably establish that flamethrowers are legal 。 everywhere 。in the U.S 。.,
there seems to be very little outright prohibition on flamethrowers, although some states regulate them. 。
A Boring Company representative, for instance, underscored to Mashable that flamethrowers are indeed legal in the state of California, as long as the flames are kept under 10 feet. 。
And devices that produce flames over 10 feet in California still appear to be legal -- they just require a permit, as written in California Health and Safety Cody 12750.。

Sure, they can certainly be abused or used violently -- but so can chainsaws. 。 Elon Musk isn't the only recent flamethrower entrepreneur in the U.S. The Ion Productions Team, located in Phoenix, Arizona, built a handheld flamethrower that has 。
thirty feet of range. 。The device is called the XM42-M,and the company notes that it sells a "CA Legal Version." These flamethrowers -- which frankly make Musk's flames look puny -- can be purchased online. 。 A demonstration of the XM42-M flamethrowers.Credit: The Ion Productions Team 。In summary, it appears flamethrowers are legal in the United States, though they might be regulated in certain states, like California. There also might be certain cities or counties that have specific ordinances outlawing flamethrowing devices, but Mashable did not confirm any such laws 。

After all, it would almost unjust to restrict someone's ability to use a flaming device to thaw their pipes, removal weeds, or show off their sweet flamethrower. 。
