Here's a YouTube of the FPS Russia guy about 18 months ago.

In the body of it he says they are legal everywhere except California and Maryland.

A deep thought...

Sometimes it is better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness.

That might be it - obviously a kind of gas fire - wonder if there were electrical problems too...

BTW - good one!

I remember a story from many years ago where the police were watching a guy drive repeatedly into a tree in the park. It was later found out that the guy was trying to get a insurance claim as he was behind his payments.

Oh boy, I have to get that picture of the torchette out of my mind by bed time! She scares me and I’m fearless.
