Ah, so they mention how there has to be the right fuel-air mix? That is why Molotovs work, you light the rag, the glass shatters and the flaming rag hits the fuel mixture. As I recall, the best mix is water bottles for naive people, instant oatmeal for "friends", and high-octane gasoline. But you don't want to be using flame against a zombie anyway.

See, I am planning that we would be taking my dad's big-ass truck, fill up the back with gasoline cans, guns, and ammo, head up into the mountains by the backroads. If we run into zombies, well, we can run into them, saving ammo. I mean really, which would you bet on winning, about five 150-250 pound zombies, or a truck that probably weighs about one ton and carrying  another 700 pounds or so of weight?

Pat has a good point about nerves, I could probably hit after a few shots, when I get over the initial shock, but as the only thing I have shot is an air rifle, I would really need to learn fast. We have guns, I just haven't ever shot them.

negative creep:
I dodn't know about you guys, but i have absolutely no idea where to find any kind of gun. Let's say I get a 24 hour early warning before the zombie apocalypse reaches my twon. how the fuck am i supposed to get a fucking gun?
I think the fatal flaw in most of the plans i read in this thread is that they require equipment that is not available.

Gemmwah:
This is a good point, and personally I don't see myself being able to acquire a gun either, due to the fact that there's nowhere around here that has any. Except maybe the convenience store, but i highly doubt it.

Boro_Bandito:
I know my aim is damn good from shooting pellet rifles, air soft guns and paintball guns, but I've never fired a real gun that's powerful to kill something(or make it dead-er) before, and so along with recoil/getting used to feel and sound of it, I would also have to come to terms with the fact that the things I'm shooting used to be living human beings. The second part in itself I think will separate survivors from zombie food, and I hope that if the time comes I get into a real survival situation that I'll be able to react to it in the right way (this is indeed for any survival situation, not the fairy-tale zombocalypse) but the truth is noone knows which kind of person they are until they come face to face with that imminent choice between death and survival.

I'm not entirely convinced that flame wouldn't be good as a way of killing them, just not in a hand to hand combat situation. You can still reduced them to charred lumps of carbon givin the situation isn't dire, good for getting rid of those still twitchin bodyparts that can build up every now and again.

Also, admittedly I'm not in the best of shape, so I'm not a runner by any means, that's one of the reasons I would want a reliable form of transport with plenty of miles in it to get away from heavy populations. I am pretty strong though, and I'm confident in my abilty to swing a bludgeoning object at a zombie's head hard enough to knock it down/out of my way. And that's just also another argument to have a pistol rather than lugging around a heavy rifle or shotgun. I have been going to the gym this year, and been mainly working on the cardio and running machines, with some limited weight training.

(also, where do you find a gun? Have a fucking phonebook? Come on people, not rocket science. If you've got a 24 hour warning chances are gun stores will too, and I'm betting if that point comes they won't bother waiting for a background check. Worst comes to worst you break in somewhere after hours, so what if its a crime that can be traced back to you? The police will be much more worried about imminent zombie conflict)

Liz:
If I am at home when it happens, I will be set. We have a gun cabinet full of the good stuff, along with chansaws and hatchets and axes and pitchforks at sledgehammers and all the jazz in our shed.

If I am in Fargo at the time, I am screwed.
