The only way that defense would work is if the cocktail was filled with a non-flammable liquid.

Shooting a man with a fire bomb in his hand is protected by the 2nd Amendment. :)

How appropriate for a member of the resistance to have a lawyer named Ohm.

Shoot the bottle with a .22 while he’s still holding it.

Oh well, if he wins his case, I guess we are all cleared hot to start throwing them too. The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away.

And shooting an active arsonist in the commission of a forceable felony is protected by the second amendment.

Probably at least three or four SC justices would agree with him.

"Historically" anytime someone has a lit molotov in their hand, the orders were shoot to kill. Now that's a fact. Democrat leaders used to be reasonably sane, at least in matters of keeping people and property reasonably safe. Sure, you got your "free speech". Now enjoy the reply, coming right at you around 2900 feet per second, dickweed.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Well Scalia set the stage for that argument when he said burning our flag was speech. Don’t know if burning a gay flag is protected or not, but it probably will be determined a hate crime.

Question for the panel...if you light a Molotov, but dont throw it, what will happen? Will it just burn like a lamp, or explode, or...?
It'll burn for a while, then the glass'll probably shatter after it's gotten too hot.
They really don't explode, gasoline is only explosive in a very small range of the fuel vapor to air ratio. The way they work is they hit something and shatter, splashing gas over the target, which then ignites and burns. You don't really get much, if any, of an explosion. Oh, and if you're using diesel, it's not very flammable but does have a wider explosive range than gasoline.

"Only if he doesnt throw it. ....."......... Hey ...... Don't forget about being in possession of a deadly weapon .... It is an actual incendiary device meant to do harm ...... and as such it would indeed be illegal under federal law to manufacture or possess one.

If that is true, then my shooting them in the face is ALSO protected. By both the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
Past due time to stop playing nice with these a-holes.
