I wonder how long the wait will be to get a permit to buy a nail gun. Let's see you will have to get the serial #, get fingerprinted, go through a background check, bring it to the cop shop and have it test fired. Maybe if you have a carpenters license they will waive a couple of day's.

 

When the Ramset guns first came out you had to have a license to use them. I still have mine tucked away somewhere. Maybe this type of crazy nonsense will return.

 

Well, not to be mean or insensetive but, anybody who is dumb enough to tie back the safety mechanism on a nail gun shouldn't be alive! Something like that can fall and the trigger gets pulled and *bam* somebody could get a nail stuck in them. Heck, could be some little kid that gets the nail...I'd bet that would make them think twice.

 

In this country? Are you kidding? He not only can sue, he will probably win.

 

It's a shame too....

He'll sue his employer for not watching over him to make sure he was following safety procedures. He'll sue the nailgun company for making a nailgun with a safety device that can be disabled. He'll sue the nail company for making nails sharp enough to penetrate his hard head. He'll sue McDonalds because the breakfast he had that morning made him 3 pounds heavier and therefore he fell harder. He'll sue God for not giving him any common sense. He'll sue guy he fell on for shooting him in the back of the head with a nailgun. He'll sue the hospital for sharing pictures of his thick headed X-ray with the entire world. He'll sue the air compressor company for making an air compressor that put enough pressure behind those nails to drive into his head. He'll sue......

It's ridiculous.

 

Don't forget the scaffolding mfgr, the ladder mfgr. and the soil tester that conspired together with his employer to allow said plaintiff to climb to a height where he could possibly fall when the sun was coming from the east and in the worker's eyes and the wind blowing from the south stirring unsecured sand...

 

Wait until Cal-OSHA gets through with his employer for "allowing" employees to bypass safety devices, not having instructions on why you shouldn't put your hand on a red hot stove in english, spanish, korean and phillipino plastered all over the job site, and not having a tool box meeting every 8 minues about why you shouldn't put your you know what in a meat grinder.

One more small businessman bites the dust.

 

Aren't power tools wonderful. Imagine how tough that would have been with a hammer. Rick

 

 

Or maybe he's a liberal and will realize it's an accident of his own making and won't sue anyone...

 

That wouldn't be typical "liberal" behavior in my experience.
