In response to Three Prominent Bankers Found Dead From Apparent Suicides Inside A Week:
On Monday I reported on the odd rash of suicides by financial execs in just the span of a week. There's one more rather grisly death to add to the growing list. Following the apparent suicides of 2 London bankers and a former Fed economist in the US, the Denver Post is reporting that Richard Talley, founder and CEO of American Title, was found dead in his home from self-inflicted nail-gun wounds.

Yeah, they called them in suicides in Las Vegas too.
yeah you are right... and then the pay back... Loved that movie particularly Helen on the machine gun
Hmm. How can I murder this guy? Damn, I can’t use a regular handgun, since possession of that would be illegal.
I can never get bored watching RED. Hope they make a third one.
Here is number FOUR.
Financial world shaken by 4 bankers' apparent suicides in a week
BEEP!
The Clintons are working again.
YIKES!
builder has supplied the correct information
nail guns and staplers have a “full auto” feature
A couple of problems, though. First, the nails are coated with a sort of glue (that's what keeps the strips together). When they go into you, they hurt! (I was framing a building addition years ago, and had the wall laid out on the ground--a knot I didn't see deflected the nail upward in the sill plate and into my hand instead of the stud. First reaction was to pull my hand back (wrong way), until I realized I needed to push it forward to get it off the nail).
Doing that to yourself would require some serious determination (or anaesthesia), and would be an odd choice for a tool of self-destruction.
Second, even back when, these devices had a safety mechanism to keep some idiot from shooting nails all over a job site willy-nilly. You have to push the front of the nail gun against something you want to nail. I'm not sure soft tissue would work well enough unless backed by bone, but that extra effort should have left a bruise or some mark, at least part of the time.
Yes, those can be thwarted by wiring the safety back, but who'd want to, and how many bankers would know that?
Jeepers...
osha is in return frowned upon
I know how to make a nail gun cruise on a floor. I doubt a banker has such skills on his own head.
One accidental double tap maybe, but the only way to make ‘em go semi-auto is to tape or jam the nosepiece back.
Just now saw his .. coulda saved some typing .. lol
I remember some guys on the Clinton list suiciding themselves by a shotgun to the back of the head, two separate calibers into the head, a bullet to the head and no gun. And the list goes on, of course, its the Clintons.
But a nail gun 7 or 8 times, I don’t know. Were the Clintons in town?
“Possibly if in a position that gravity would bring it back in contact.”
I was nailing the rakes on a gable end on the second story this spring, using my weak hand to nail, and my strong hand to hold the board in place. The first nail hit its mark but the gun double tapped on the bounce, driving the second nail through the rafter and also through my hand holding the rake board. Ouch... The only way this guy could’ve nailed himself repeatedly would have been for him to have been laying on his back, holding the gun with both hands, trigger depressed, above his head and torso allowing the ‘recoil’ to bounce the gun into himself repeatedly.... Just what most bankers do in the garage.
