So your range allows police to shoot there?

Nice funny but ya know what they say, for every dumb-ass action
another isn't far behind, as in the form of a civil attorney.I can
hear it now how the light wasn't bright enough or the barricade wasn't
high enough or just humiliation from the wiseguy cracks he'll receive
due to the foot target.We had a guy here once shoot himself in the
groin, now that would make a hilarious target...

Think like a lawyer. Did the gun manufacturer incorporate sufficient
safety devices on the gun to prevent an accidental shooting? I think
not. Did the range provide adequate instruction and oversight to stop
such an occurance? Obviously not. And what of the liability of the
ammunition manufacturer? Was the bullet unnecessarily lethal for its
intended purpose, causing unnecessary pain and suffering? I'm seeing
dollar signs here.

opened the breech to check that it was loaded. After verifying it was loaded
he closed the breech and it discharged resulting in the loss of one toe. It
must have been a very tight choke!

As far as the range goes everyone that shoots signs a liability
waiver. Gun manufactures provide instruction manuals that state "point
the gun in a safe direction at all times"..I'd like to think that
people also have a certain responsibility to know how to use the
weapon they willingly shoot..People take this liability and it seems
like driving a car, you don't sue the manufacturer of the car because
someone t-bones you at an intersection. I am in PA and the gun laws
are pretty liberal here...But hey... if happened in NJ....I am sure
someone somewhere would pay, perhaps the company that dig the lead out
of the ground...:)

Like it's been said over and over in this group, everyone has the
right to sue regardless how ridiculous the case may be. Yes even some
numb nut that T-bones you. I once had a lady that speaka'-no-inglalesh
pull a comacozie move on me than wanted to sue my insurance company
even after she received a bread basket full of citations so nothing
surprises me anymore...

Didn't that jackass also sue for what I believe was on the grounds of
public humiliation. The only part that was an accident in that
discharge was his walnut size brain being allowed to negotiate a
loaded firearm...

Yeah I'd seen it... I notice that the slide was locked back when it was
handed to him.
I'm guessing that there was not an empty magazine in the gun...
I understand that there is an ongoing lawsuit over that film.

That was amusing but the video I'd like to see again is the one where a
dumbass TV reporter puts on a ballistic vest and has someone shoot him
with a .22 revolver.

Actually, that's what happened back a number of years with the GM trucks
with the saddle tanks. They were sued for poor design. Never say never.
Joe
was a professional molecular biologist at at major pharmaceutical
firm. She was called to jury duty for an auto accident, it was a three
car pile up and the center car sued the front car for locking up his
brakes. The plaintiffs, she said, looked like they were poor and did
not have two nickels to rub together. They added into their testimony
that they had several kids they barely were aboe to take care of. The
defendant was well groomed and drove a very nice car.
After the plaintiff won the case the judge thanked the jury and gave
them some last comments before they were dismissed. After the verdict
the judge pointed out that in the defendants testimony they were
forced back into their seats on impact and then forward when they hit
the car infront of them, meaning that they were hit from behind
first..then they hit the lead car. Regardless the plaintiffs were
awarded a cash summary because of the verdict. She told me that if not
for the symphathy factor involved for the plaintiff they would not
have awarded anything.
Go Figure...
