Death of a Pallet
« on: August 01, 2013, 05:05:10 PM »
So....  here's one I never expected to see. This pallet met with a very unfortunate accident. The pallet owner was handling his fire arm when it accidentally discharged. I'm of course a advocate of shooting pallets as we then have to make more for you.

 Now - who'd here can explain why guns are necessary in your screen print shop?

no offense but there is not such thing as an accidental discharge...you either do it or you don't.  now there is careless handling of a firearm and that is what I believe to happen  but guns don't just go "off"

Question is why wouldn't you have a gun in your shop! And I agree with Sam on this one. Guns only "go off" if you intend them to.

I think I would've saved that bullet for an inkjet printer.

I agree with most of these people here... My gun has managed to not put any holes in anything but targets so far.  Though, Chris is on to something for sure!

Yup. Kept a pistol in my shop when I noticed slow-rolling drive-bys from nearby apartments in the evening when I printed because it was so damn hot in the daytime, and no back door to "retreat" to, in a manner of speaking. It blended right in with my aluminum handled squeegies with the dark blue blades.

I have a different take on this.  When someone comes into my shop asking for my money I'll just tell them I keep the money under the press and then servo index their behind in half!

wow, I don't think I would have fessed up to this one.  he's going to kill somebody.  carelessness.

he's lucky he didn't hit the base of the press.  M&R's use the bottom frame as an air tank.  That would have seriously cost a ton to fix.

Also, guns in the shop is nothing new.  Most shops are in industrial areas, thankfully we are not seen as easy targets or "rolling" in money.  This is the reason most of us carry:

They did arrest the a-holes.  I hope they fry the bastards too...or send them to work in that guy's shop...he's bound to do other stupid sh!t
