Bigbadaboom Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 maybe so, but you still ought to "risk something" bringing stupid lawsuits. Exactly. It should be "Loser Pays" everything, including the other parties attorney fees. +100000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 I took a police science class back in high school. The officers teaching it had on a couple of times brought out their concealed weapons, they weren't in uniform, for a demonstration. Every time they did, they cleared the gun while pointing in a safe direction, then had 2 students verify that chamber was empty and the mag out of the gun before proceeding with the demonstration.

Cjblackmon Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) Many of the lawsuits that make the news because they're so incredibly ridiculous are brought by wacko pro se plaintiffs (those who can find no attorney willing to take the case). The vast majority of these get tossed out of court almost instantly, and I'll bet that's exactly what will happen with this one. Our civil justice system actually works much better than the media culture would have us believe. But...Remember the Marlboro lawsuit? Millions were awarded because cigarettes cause cancer...and there's another one starting again as of Januuary of this year. Everyone needs to blame someone else. Accountability for our own actions is not what most people like to do, therefore they sue for their own negligence and stupidity. I have no confidence in our justice system for allowing trials like this to be awarded. He'll probably win. I'd be more surprised if not shocked if he didn't.

There's factor you're missing - he filed pro-se, which means that the system is free to dismiss the suit without depriving an attorney of his contingency fee.

AustinMike Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 We've got a saying in the motorcycle riders' community that applies to guns as well: That idiot is lucky that his stupidity didn't hurt or kill anyone in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
