5 day waiting period to buy a chainsaw?

You have to wonder what this guy was thinking.
Portland man arrested after robbing a McDonald’s while operating a chainsaw

It's finally getting cold out, could it be that he just wanted something hot to eat and a warm bed for the night?

What? In Portland, and not being charged with air pollution?

Oh, I see it was Portland Maine not Portland of the West coast coalition.

Since his name is Alice, he probably has long term hostility issues. (Hat tip to Johnny Cash.)

Wonder what brand of chain saw he used...

You think maybe he could do commercials......"I never rob McDonald's without my trust Stihl chainsaw, don't leave home without it".:laughing:

I didn't see if he had a concealed carry permit for the saw, ouch!!!!

It must be in the coastal air. Years ago another genius went to his ex GF's house and started cutting himself around the neck with a chainsaw, saying that he wouldn't stop until she came out. Somehow she chose to remain inside. I don't recall if he survived the experience or not.

The scariest part of all is that a quick search turned up several instances where somebody has intentionally maimed or killed themselves using a power saw for a weapon.

Ha, good one! I had to go back and check the article again. His name really is Alice!

This seems like a good application for a battery powered chainsaw. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and offers improved surprise benefit, because he doesn't need to fire it up until the moment it's needed.

How embarrassing would it be for your chainsaw to stall out right in the middle of a robbery?
