[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hell no.  Not unless you want to be like these criminally negligent parents whose kid misfired a gun at the shooting range instructor and blew his brains out.

I don’t know where you went to law school but having someone instruct a child in the use of firearms is hardly negligence, let alone criminal negligence, on the part of the parents. If anything, it would be the other way around, with the late instructor and/or his employer liable to the parents for the instructor’s negligence.

And “misfired” means the charge (cartridge, shell, etc) in the firearm did not discharge when the trigger was operated and the firing pin, striker, etc., struck the primer or percussion cap or the flint struck the frizzen to ignite the powder in the flash pan.  It does not mean a firearm was discharged in an unsafe direction. [/quote]

Yeah good luck with suing a guy who died because your kid shot him because you were dumb enough to think a kid should handle a deadly weapon. [/quote]
