I don't think he said natural gas.

Propane is often done with copper, mostly compression fittings. As for
sweating with propane in it, yes, it can be done. No., it won't explode.
All of our natural gas lines in commercial and industrial are welded. Yes,
they are sometimes welded with gas in them, but the meter shut off.
