Gun shop found liable in shooting of two... - GMDino - 10-14-2015 Interesting. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gun-shop-found-liable-in-shooting-of-two-milwaukee-police-officers/ Quote:MILWAUKEE -- Two police officers who were shot and seriously wounded have won their lawsuit against a gun store that sold the weapon used against them. RE: Gun shop found liable in shooting of two... - Benton - 10-14-2015 I'll be surprised if it's not overturned during an appeal. Without proof the store knew the sale was for someone else, they should not be held liable. On the other hand, if it's correct that four years prior "537 guns recovered from crimes were traced back to Badger Guns" then someone should have been checking into the place more.

It would seem counter-productive to catching criminals. Especially if, as you noted, those numbers about that business are correct.

Not sure on when the law passed, I was just referring to when the gun shop was found to be connected to 537 sales of guns recovered from crimes.

Sorry. Poor use of punctuation to try and connote emphasis. It was a question in as much as I was saying "You know that law that passed in 2005?" and then commenting on it.

Without proof the store knew the sale was for someone else, they should not be held liable. The number of 537 does raise alarm but I was unsure if it warranted it, as we did not know the number of years the business has existed or the total number of guns sold in it's existence. However, I found an old article and it appears that Badger Guns was consistently involved in questionable actions. The business had been open for 22 years and the brother to the original owner took over (2012), gaining a newly issued license. http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/badger-guns-owners-brother-ready-to-reopen-store-a762f78-161849845.html Quote:Badger Guns' owner's brother ready to take over store RE: Gun shop found liable in shooting of two... - Au165 - 10-14-2015 So as normal, there is more to the story. From other stories I read the negligence issue is because the underage kid basically walked around and picked out the gun, the clerk then helped his friend fix his application after he filled out incorrectly showing he wasn't going to be the owner of the gun, and the clerk did not properly verify the purchasers identity. All of these items combine show a disregard or at the least gross negligence of the proper procedures and gun laws required for them to sell the weapon. Remember this is a civil case so they just need to show that it is more likely than not that the gun shop acted negligently, which the jury believes it did. I don't see this one getting over turned after all the facts are actually looked at. Side note: Each story added items and left others out so it really is hard to try and piece together the whole picture.

It wasn't a bicycle way therefor he was breaking a law. The guy I responded asked where he was supposed to bike, and I replied in the street where the law says, which in this case was correct otherwise they wouldn't have stopped him for bicycling on the sidewalk.

Not much of a point, other than stating my opinion was that it seems it could be confusing to someone not paying attention. It wasn't an attack, nor trying to refute your post. Just an observation. I thought that would be understood with my tone of stating that it did not justify anything. I will concede that it didn't add much to the conversation, but I didn't expect it to be taken as a slight.

No problem, or slight for that matter, I wasn't sure if I was missing some sort of underlying argument. These boards can be a weird place sometimes.

Glad we're still on good terms. ![]() I guess I have a penchant for looking up municipal codes, since I recently realized there are many sources online. ![]() RE: Gun shop found liable in shooting of two... - RICHMONDBENGAL_07 - 10-14-2015 (10-14-2015, 02:25 PM)6andcounting Wrote: Where is he supposed to ride his bike?

This is what I was wondering about...it said they stopped him for riding a bike on the side walk?! There has to be more to this than that right?! Surely the police have better things to do than harassing people for riding their bikes on the sidewalk And before anyone says it, no I don't believe that it means they deserve to be shot in the face. I am curious as to why they even stopped the guy in the first place though. Also if he bought the gun illegally with the shops knowing he did so then of course they should be held accountable. Still just trying figure out why they even stopped the guy?

It is common for police to do it in large cities.

I get what you're saying about being a danger to pedestrians, but there has to be more to the story than just riding on the sidewalk. Hell when I was a kid, we rode on the sidewalk all the time because our moms didn't want us riding in the street. There has to be more to this story.

Used to be a big deal where I grew up in the "downtown" section (one street...lol) because the old ladies were jsut sure that we were going to hit them and make them drop their groceries! ![]() RE: Gun shop found liable in shooting of two... - Rotobeast - 10-14-2015 (10-14-2015, 03:56 PM)RICHMONDBENGAL_07 Wrote: I've lived in large cities and in rural environments and bicycle frequently and never been stopped because I was on the sidewalk.

I have seen it in Minneapolis when I was there for a while. Maybe it's a Minnesota thing then. |
