BBQ Lighters
Anyone know if there is a BBQ lighter made with NO child resistant features? Thanks

Actually it IS the Feds who required most lighters be childproof according to a 1993 NYT article:
I will say that I don't find the 20+ year old regulations arduous since a thumb callous does not trump a child's life. And and as a kiddo, I got 2 seconds of my allotted fame discussing a match lit fire set in my class' coat closet to the local news; drank leftover rum and coca colas on the morning after adult parties, pledged allegiance to the flag in front of an asbestos curtain in the school's auditorium and somehow turned my nose up at eating lead paint chips over fluffer nutter sammies. Still wondering what would have been "worsa" to eat in the long run but I digress:B.
Just happy that some designs make it easier fer old fogies such as self to operate;).
The Consumer Product Safety Commission voted 3 to 0 to require that the lighters be too difficult for most children under 5 to operate. The new standard applies to all disposable butane lighters, inexpensive refillable lighters and novelty lighters that resemble toys or depict cartoon characters. It extends to lighters manufactured abroad as well as domestic lighters.
