I realize these types of issues can be controversial (as seen in other threads), but ... what the hell ... There seem to be 2 issues here (I could be wrong): 1.) product liability, and 2.) personal liability For product liability, as we know from many heated discussions, "fault" and degree of fault is a finding of fact by a jury. That is, juries can do whatever they want when it comes to punishing companies as per the Liability Act of 197?. So they can just as easily say that the holster is responsible or the gun. That is, there's no right answer, it's up the the jury to decide. As for personal liability, this is where gun law could help. You could make the gun owner responsible for, or an accomplice to, any crime committed by that gun when it's out of his/her possession for any reason, voluntary or accident. If that were the case, the gun owner could sue the holster manufacturer, but would still be responsible for the shooting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:257388 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
