minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·15 days agoWhat if you’re at a paid indoor range and your bullet goes through the back stop wall because the range cheaped out?
minus-squareAA5B@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·14 days agoIf you’re moving the goalposts there, just move the lawsuit right over to the range. The difference is whether the shooter paid sufficient care and those are clear opposites
minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·14 days agoMoving a goalpost? Triumph said 100% of the time the guy that shot the bullet is responsible for it. I was just pointing out how silly that could be.

minus-squareFenrirIII@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·15 days agoLiterally just had a case in my Tort Law class about this very thing. I think you don’t know anything at all.
minus-squareColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·15 days agoI know in my scenario under tort, the gun range or someone further down in the construction of the range would be found liable, and not the shooter.
minus-squaregrindemup@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·15 days agoIANAL but isn’t this issue of responsibility obviously determined based on the liability waiver that gun range attendees sign? I’d be pretty shocked if gun ranges don’t include personal injury and wrongful death clauses in their liability waiver.
