Lets please drop the subject. There is nothing we can do to change the attitudes just wanted to share the comment from a tool salesman.

I don't buy it either. It's a sad day when our so called law makers have it set up so a store can be sued for selling a tool to someone who was incompetent to use it, and the same store can be sued for refusing to sell it, as well. Too many laws, too many lawyers. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 6:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] not selling to blind explination No one seems to mind selling cars to drunks or who they sell guns to or soda and other junk food to the obese I don't buy it.
