Isn’t that just an aerosol can lit with a lighter? I use to play with them as a kid. Calling it a flamethrower is a stretch.

Sorta depends on which end you're on.

Wow ratchet down your hyperbole about 90%. The only thing someone is going to burn alive with a flaming aerosol can is a few bugs. Even if the guy was close enough and did burn the other guy, it hardly falls in the category of an act that justifies shooting. The guy with the can is a moron, the guy with the was engaging in a criminal act.

Would you be dumb enough to stand in front of one without defending yourself??

What I learned from FR today is that a lot of people here think shooting flames at others is a fun, harmless pastime.

What kind of an idiot would stand in front of one to get burned, burned not burned alive, oh wait I know, a complete moron, still not justification for someone using a gun. It's the jacka$$ that pulled the gun that gives all responsible gun owners a bad name.

I thought that it was something he may have seen in a movie. It seems like kind of an odd one for him to have picked.

If it’s someone in your family he’s shooting the flame at.....what do you do if you have a gun?

“Yes, LET’S start using language like the Left: It is *EXACTLY* a flame-flower; a device, by use of a propellant, used to cast a flammable liquid.”

By your definition a Bic lighter is a flamethrower. Actually the spray can does not “cast” a burning liquid, it ignites the propellant similar to that of a blowtorch. A flamethrower shoots burning gelled gasoline onto a target.

I sure as hell don't shoot it into a crowd or against a non lethal threat, the guy he was pointing at was not near enough to harmed and he had the pole the flag was on to ward him off.

Continuing this any further would be asinine and all I can say is that with your mindset I hope to God you are not CCW or ever will be.

I'm done with this lunacy

The guy using it called it a flame thrower when they interviewed him in Roots mag.

The person firing the pistol was in no danger at all did you watch the video clip.

Ummm, Self-Defense includes Defense of Others. If I see a rape in progress, or 4 guys beating a woman with baseball bats, I am fully authorized to terminate the attacker's existence. Do you not know that?

Each person when placed in such a situation. Has to decide for themselves when to act.

As I stated before the shooter was not endanger himself.

Was this a proper use of force in defense of someone else.

It is not clear if it was or was not from what I saw in the short video clip where one does not have the whole story.

Newly released video footage from the Charlottesville
demonstrations and counter-protests involving white
supremacists and anti-fascist activists shows a white
nationalist firing his gun in the direction of a black man
while police stood by

No, a lighter does not use a propellant, but the natural characteristics of the compressed (but)-ane gas. Nor is it designed to ‘stick’ when encountered.

Funny, I was unaware the spray can did the actual IGNITION /s Whatever *legal* verbiage one wishes to ‘cover all the bases’: propel, expel, cast, shoot, etc.

Lastly, I specified a FLAMMABLE liquid; not one that is\currently in a state of combustion. Even a flamethrower needs a source of ignition (same w/ the spray can & lighter).

I never want to be in a situation with you, if you overreact like the moron. TaTA now I am tired of playing with mental children.

I hope your family doesn’t need you in a critical situation. I see you as the type that runs away.
