You Only Get One Chance At This

A police officer in Glasgow, Kentucky is suing Barren Outdoors.  The employee handed him a loaded gun, which he failed to check, and he blew off part of his left index finger.

Note to gun store customers:  putting your hand over the muzzle won’t stop a bullet and it doesn’t exempt you from Rule #2.  Don’t point the weapon at anything you can’t pay for.  Nobody wants to hear, “it’s unloaded.”  I’ve lost count of how many times that phrase has turned out to be a lie.

Note to gun store employees:  clear the gun before handing it to a customer because the customer won’t check it.  Seriously, 87.4% just of them just start dry-firing away with wild abandon as soon as they’ve got their sweaty mitts on it.

Note to gun store owners:  you can and will be sued for this.  Comparative negligence might mitigate the damages, but you’re going to have some of the liability.
