A What Now?

Only in 011 (as far as we can tell):
  • SCC,

    Once again the west side comes through. About a week ago, the second watch got a call of a Disturbance at a gas station. A disturbed individual was waving something around, pointing it at people and threatening to blow the place up. When officers arrived, they found he had an honest-to-god flame thrower. He keep lighting the ignition source and waving it around before cops managed to convince him to put the damn thing down.

    Did you know flame throwers are completely legal to own in all 50 states? Tesla sells them, the same guy who's going to tunnel from downtown to O'Hare one of these days.
We hadn't heard about this, but a quick check of arrests shows there was a guy arrested for Disorderly Conduct and a flame thrower was inventoried. We're going to call the Range tomorrow and see if this falls under "Auxiliary Weapons" and go qualify next week.

As kids we would have done anything for the cool
shit weapons featured in "Combat." Now you can
by them from fucking Elon Musk, like he needs the
money. He guessed right and the masses bought.

Someone should tell Biden they are legal as according to him, “It violates no one’s Second Amendment rights to say you can’t own certain weapons. You’re not allowed to own a bazooka; you can’t own a flamethrower.” There are some nice flamethrower videos on this article link. https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/12/actually-joe-biden-flamethrowers-legal-50-states/

A Flamethrower would make an excellent crowd dispersal weapon.

Flame thrower? Really? Are we sure it wasn’t a roofing torch? Those flames only go 2ft if that and powered by propane. Also, Elon Musk never made a “flame thrower” it’s a roofing torch with a nerf gun around it. It’s even called “not a flame thrower”.

The Boring company sold a run of 20000 flame throwers a while back for 500$ each. Not sure that in this case it was a unit from that sale but plenty of youtube videos on how to make your own for much less. Only on the west side.

@308am alright Mr. No fun. The guy wasn’t roofing. If there’s some shit head in 011 using a device that throws flames several feet, he’s now operating a make shift flame thrower. I don’t care if it’s powered by propane, because I can’t get within 2ft of him, or he will throw flames at me.....in a gas station.
BUT! Armed with this new knowledge of roofing torches, which are perfectly legal, 19p.

First of all, it 011.
There’s nothing left to burn/destroy/worth saving.
Second, no you can’t have one.
You’re lucky they still allow 9mm, 45 cal and +10 mags.

Nice pinch though. What’s that, a $75 ANOV that won’t get paid, collected or civilly enforced ?

For the record, Pawn Stars ChumLee bought and demonstrated a Boring Company flamethrower (Elon Musk sold 20k of them @$500 ea).
Surely the chi-comms make a community affordable, FOID free $20 version.

Use it to burn Groot’s broom, way better to carry about than a bucket of water.

This is the Tesla (Borning Company from Elon Musk) flamethrower:

https://www.boringcompany.com/not-a-flamethrower

To be honest, that is sort of like a zip gun. Many idiots can make homemade guns of sorts (simple single fire shotguns are pipes pushed together against a shell with a bb for a striker pin) and making a flamethrower is not too hard either. Making it safe is another matter but making it is basic.

STAY SAFE!

Pro tip: be careful shooting napalm based fuel out of your M9A1-7 at close range or against solid objects. The fuel "rod" will splatter and you don't want that coming back at you.....

Elon Musk’s Boring Co flamethrower is a glorified Coleman camping stove, mostly flash. A military flamethrower shots flaming sticky jelly over quite a distance. I’m not up on the legal issues or what this guy had, but there’s a very big difference.

Just dupe it to fire....

The offender here is a Zebra who has been locked up in 012 3x in the last week. Where is the call for increased background checks and tighter flamethrower control?
