Why would that be a joke?Churches out here raffle off handguns, too.

Other parts of the country would not do that.
While there may be some places where this would be less likely, I think it's not as uncommon as you're assuming. The pastor at my son's school organizes outings of parents to the local sporting clays facility, for a day of shooting. Many churches here allow or even organize hunting on their grounds, as well.
So Sad. That people are so politically correct and socially connected.
OK I can top this! ;-)
That’s what I find to be a dangerous scenario, too.
Okay, if we're opening up the field, I have an interesting submission. Aside from watching my FIL cut his finger off on my table saw, there's a story of my father putting a drill clean thru his hand. I assume it must have been a wood auger type, as I can't imagine anything else self-feeding fast enough to go completely thru the hand without stopping. In any case, he undid the chuck (old key type) with his free hand, and went to the hospital with the bit still in his hand, knowing blood loss (and probably pain) might spike dramatically when it's withdrawn.
And this is one of the reasons I became an advocate of pole saws.
I ended up buying a 36" bar to swap onto my largest saw, for the same reason. I was felling trees for several seasons in a place with a lot of trees around 40" DBH, and so many of them were located either up against a boulder, another felled tree, or brambles that nearly prevented safe escape from one side or the other. Whereas I needed to work from both sides with my usual 28" bar, I could do nearly all work from just one side using the 36", picking whichever side had the safer escape for the majority of the work.
"vasolvagle" Just for the record, I had to look this one up. I've heard that you should learn a new word every day. I should make this one my Genesis.
Pole and brush saws are much safer for the user. As you know, anybody nearby has to know enough to stand clear. Some people aren't that smart.
Many injures but not all, are from kick-back. These don't happen with pole-saws."vasolvagle" Just for the record, I had to look this one up. I've heard that you should learn a new word every day. I should make this one my Genesis.

how so?
You also won’t be cutting 24” logs with a pole saw, either.
Many injuries to the user. People standing by are still at risk, and need to stay away from the user.

Here is a few larger ones we've done over the years with Polesaws. Its either you cut it with tool in hand, or walk back 3 miles to the trucks. What to do, what to do... I'm not all that smart.
