I hope they don't start trying to ban chainsaws with bars under 18"!  This guy is pretty crazy!  He apparently went for his neck to try to behead himself.

A lengthy stand-off held Grand Island Police and the State Patrol SWAT team at bay for nearly 7 hours, before it ended in one Grand Island man killing himself. Tuesday night, Grand Island Police were trying to arrest 40-year-old Paul Smidt on a federal warrant for felony possession of a fire arm. When authorities arrived, they say Smidt was armed with a chain saw and refused to let officers inside the barricaded bathroom of his lawn care business. The stand-off ended when Smidt turned the chain saw on himself

Just two months ago, Smidt was involved in a similar stand-off. Police and SWAT Team units were called his home. Inside, he was holding his estranged wife Lois Smidt, at gunpoint. She later escaped, while authorities used K9 units to bring Smidt into custody.

A grand jury will now investigate Smidt's death, which is required under state law.

Now I suppose we will have to equip our saws with seat belts and air bags once the Naderites find out. At least this fruit loop won't cause any more problems.

Does this mean you'll have to wait 3 days now, before you can pick your new chainsaw up?

Seriously, though, that would take some doing!
