A Firearm in Every Home.

There could be, and probably is, a very valid reason.

My son doesn't allow me to use his chain saw (nor would a husband if there was one!) - and justly so - not that I would even want to tho. I have very limited strength and feeling in my hands and arms, so obviously it would not be safe for me to do so.

The words used implied the wife doesn't have the good sense not to
use a electrical tool that she knew she couldn't handle. A intelligent,
adult woman doesn't need supervision like a child would.

I personally didn't see that meaning in it at all, but then I suppose different people could have a different interpretation. I don't see where "intelligence" even enters in to what he said. Again - just IMHO.

Whatever - I'm sure his reasons are justified and none of our business anyway.

My son of 46 has also been declined because of lack of training. A chainsaw will cripple you in a heart beat. Just like the gun I have seen many accidents and deaths involving chainsaws.

I went to a 3 day training class put on by the Forest Service or I would not operate one myself. It is not just the saw that is dangerous but the tree you are cutting. If you do not understand how energy is stored in a downed tree then you should not even cut the first branch.

Care to admit you were wrong with your assumption Liz?

She will never admit it now that you have called her on it.

Im not suprised that she didnt answer my question about firearms in national parks, or why she was confused about this thread, either.

Some people you cant expect even the admission they where even slightly incorrect or outright wrong.

Question asked, question annswered. Thanks.


Blue, I didn't see any question directed to me. What was it?

Its allways so sincere after you've been called out isnt it?

From post 77 in this thread.

Why is it a dumb idea, and why are you mad about it?

Why the confusion?

Why guns are safer than bullets!

I jammed a emm effing drill bit into my finger last Friday.

A corded drill with an idiot at the trigger is another dangerous tool, this I can vouch for.

Same as any ordinary item that you can pick up.

Rocks on the ground were pretty safe until someone decided it can put a dent (pun intended) in your day, skin, brain, bones....
