Had to happen sooner or later. Hope it doesn't stop them from doing their stuff.

I'm sure they are insured.

And this is the sort of thing that can send insurance rates thru the roof, and have any municipality where they do their stuff shut them down or severely restrict them.

True. I doubt they'll skyrocket to the point of killing the show however.

There are ways around that, film in a different municipality or operate outside the limits.

Accidents happen. How many times have the others misfired at that shooting range?
Or elsewhere?

Not impressed.

Whose insurance rates? Yours? Bullshit. This is why they pay insurance in the first place. I am sure they pay A LOT too.

That was one hell of a shot.

You always have to run off in a different direction, don't you Brenda?

The insurance rates for the show. There have been movies not made or had to get a different star because somebody was not insurable or not for an affordable sum. And the insurance rates of the municipality that gave them the permit to do this - we know how risk averse they are, banning soccer balls for instance.

You were talking about "insurance rates" not "their insurance rates".

Banning soccer balls on school playgrounds had not much to do with insurance rates. Who's running off in different directions now?

Could you honestly not gleen that from the discussion? C'mon, you're just nitpicking for no reason.

ESL again Brenda? Here's the whole quote in context.

If you were sending cannonballs into your neighbor's house, then yes, I would have been talking about your insurance rates.

Banning soccer balls or playground equipment has everything to do with insurance - the city/school board doesn't want to be held liable because of the high insurance rates that would bring.

Nah, Andy is, once again.
But whatever, you're right. I'm done being insulted anyway.

Explain how I was nitpicking? I have Tricks standing up for me, so wow, I must have got this right!
