Re the flamethrower:
"The first buyer, Police Superintendent David Walkley of Johannesburg's crime intelligence unit, is satisfied the Blaster is legal, provided it is used correctly.
'It depends entirely on the circumstances and whether you can justify self-defense,' he said.
'Yes, there are certain risks in using it, but there are also risks in not having anything at all.' "
Variation: "I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it."
