A hot gas deployment device for safely deploying a "hot" tear-gas canister to flush out barricaded law-resisters. The device includes an internal chamber for inserting the tear-gas canister therein, securing means to secure the canister in place during deployment, and a handle for easy operation. The chamber safely contains the hot-gases produced by the tear-gas canister to reduce the risk of causing a fire in the barricaded space. Tear-gas release orifices on the chamber's housing release the tear-gas from the chamber. One embodiment of the device includes a hollow spear for releasing the tear-gas through walls and other obstructions. Another embodiment of the device is suitable for hurling with a tear-gas grenade launcher.

We claim: 1. A hot gas deployment device for safely discharging a hot tear-gas grenade, the device comprising: a housing defining an internal chamber for axially receiving a tear-gas canister, the chamber being open at one end and generally closed at its second end, the housing further formed with a handle for grasping the hot gas deployment device during deployment and securing means for generally holding the tear-gas canister in position within the chamber during the deployment of the tear-gas grenade, wherein the handle is a hollow stick-handle which is formed on the closed end of the housing and comprising a barrier penetration means and an orifice for releasing the tear-gas inside the barricaded space, the housing further comprising a tear-gas release orifice in the housing for releasing the tear-gas from within the chamber to the external environment of the chamber, the housing further comprising a tear-gas pressure relief means for releasing the tear-gas from the internal chamber if excessive gas pressure builds up in the internal chamber, wherein the tear-gas pressure relief means is a pressure-distensible flexible sleeve, the flexible sleeve being sleeved over the external surface of the housing to cover the tear-gas release orifice on the housing. 2. The hot gas deployment device of claim 1, wherein the stick-handle has a length between 2 to 10 feet. 3. The hot gas deployment device of claim 1 wherein the securing means comprises a cap-closure for the open end of the chamber. 4. The hot gas deployment device of claim 3 wherein the cap-closure has an opening for inserting the threaded end of the bouchont of the tear-gas grenade. 5. The hot gas deployment device of claim 4 wherein the stick-handle has a length between 2 to 10 feet. 6. A hot gas deployment device for safely discharging a hot tear-gas grenade, the device comprising: a housing defining an internal chamber for axially receiving a tear-gas canister, the chamber being open at one end and generally closed at its second end, the housing further formed with a handle for grasping the hot gas deployment device during deployment and securing means for generally holding the tear-gas canister in position within the chamber during the deployment of the tear-gas grenade, and wherein the housing comprises a cap-closure for the open end of the chamber, the cap-closure having an opening for inserting the threaded end of the bouchont of the tear-gas grenade, the cap-closure further functioning as the securing means for generally holding the tear-gas canister in position within the chamber during the deployment of the tear-gas grenade, the housing further including a first tear-gas release orifice in the housing for releasing the tear-gas from within the chamber to the external environment of the chamber, the housing further comprising a tear-gas pressure relief means for the first tear-gas release orifice for releasing the tear-gas from the internal chamber if excessive gas pressure builds up in the internal chamber, wherein the tear-gas pressure relief means is a pressure-distensible flexible sleeve, the flexible sleeve being sleeved over the external surface of the housing to cover the tear-gas release orifice on the housing. 7. The hot gas deployment device of claim 6 wherein the handle is a stick handle. 8. The hot gas deployment device of claim 7 wherein the stick-handle is hollow. 9. The hot gas deployment device of claim 8 wherein the free end of the stick-handle has a removable closure means. 10. The hot gas deployment device of claim 9 wherein the free end of the stick-handle has internal threads and the removable closure means is a plug with external threads that mate with the internal threads of the free end of the stick-handle. 11. The hot gas deployment device of claim 10 further comprising an extension pipe, the extension pipe having external threads that mate with the internal threads of the free end of the stick-handle. 12. The hot gas deployment device of claim 11 wherein the extension pipe comprises a barrier penetration means and an orifice for releasing the tear-gas inside the barricaded space. 13. The hot gas deployment device of claim 8 further comprising an extension pipe and means to attach the extension pipe to the free end of the stick-handle. 14. The hot gas deployment device of claim 13 wherein the extension pipe comprises a barrier penetration means and an orifice for releasing the tear-gas inside the barricaded space. 15. A hot gas deployment device for safely discharging a hot tear-gas grenade, the device comprising: a housing defining an internal chamber for axially receiving a tear-gas canister, the chamber being open at one end and generally closed at its second end, the housing further formed with a handle for grasping the hot gas deployment device during deployment and securing means for generally holding the tear-gas canister in position within the chamber during the deployment of the tear-gas grenade, the housing further including a first tear-gas release orifice in the housing for releasing the tear-gas from within the chamber to the external environment of the chamber, the housing further comprising a tear-gas pressure relief means for the first tear-gas release orifice for releasing the tear-gas from the internal chamber if excessive gas pressure builds up in the internal chamber, wherein the tear-gas pressure relief means is a pressure-distensible flexible sleeve, the flexible sleeve being sleeved over the external surface of the housing to cover the tear-gas release orifice on the housing. 16. The hot gas deployment device of claim 15, wherein the handle is a hollow stick-handle. 17. The hot gas deployment device of claim 16 further comprising an extension pipe and means to attach the extension pipe to the free end of the stick-handle. 18. The hot gas deployment device of claim 17 wherein the extension pipe comprises a barrier penetration means and an orifice for releasing the tear-gas inside the barricaded space. 19. The hot gas deployment device of claim 15 wherein the securing means comprises a cap-closure for the open end of the chamber. 20. The hot gas deployment device of claim 19 wherein the cap-closure has an opening for inserting the threaded end of the bouchont of the tear-gas grenade.
