Throws away stolen weapon (9)
I believe the answer is:
slingshot
'weapon' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'throws away stolen' is the wordplay.
'throws away' becomes 'slings' (I've seen this in another clue. I am not sure about the 'away' bit.).
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'slings'+'hot'='SLINGSHOT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slingshot that I've seen before include "enough to knock you out" , "that can help you get a stone off" , "No slights (anag) - catapult (US)" , "Sing Holst? (Anag)" , "Weapon American kid may produce" .)
