    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.

    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.

    Why guns are safer than bullets!

    http://www.dailynews.com/ci_12491407?source=rss_viewed


    -------------------------

    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....
