I must have imagined the deep cuts on lips and tongue and hamburger bars caused from chain bits. My mistake.

It is a given that any bit can become a weapon in certain hands. I don't doubt that you can put a chain bit on a well trained horse and not have a problem. It doesn't change the fact of the abuse I have personally witnessed.

Mine either.
