Some cities do not allow burning but I think most counties do allow it in the rural areas.

When Obama was president, a preacher in Gainesville was upset with Islam and wanted to burn some Qurans. He tried it at his church in Gainesville but the police stopped him because that city did not allow open fires.

A few years later I wondered how it turned out so I did a Google search. It said the preacher went outside the city limits and burned a bunch of Qurans. The authorities didn't do anything, probably because our Supreme Court had decided it was a free speech issue.

It said he became an Uber driver in Sarasota.
