It was stolen
And that should be the end of it. However, here’s a case where someone is arguing that someone did not do enough to secure a gun that was later used in a shooting.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

The only duty here is that of the criminal not to steal. NOTHING can be secured against a determined thief.

Then you go to the state legislature, @!#$%!!! Not the Federal Courts!

A Boston attorney using Massachusetts rules to argue a New Hampshire case. The Concord Monitor, btw, is this state’s version of the Village Voice, WaPo & Boston Glob all run together.
They won’t go to the legislature – especially this year – as our legislature would only laugh them out of the building. This is the same legislature that recently voted & got passed with a veto-proof majority the restoration of the ability for a citizen to carry a firearm in to the state house. The same legislature that had to postpone a hearing for a brief moment so a representative could re-holster his pistol. In other words, there is no remedy for the hand-wringers in this year’s legislature.
So hence the PSH crowd needs to go elsewhere, like a federal court. Doing things through proper channels won’t work for any Boston attorney, never mind this one.

I’m trying to figure out how they think that a case from a state with “safe-storage” laws – which would, from a legal standpoint, create the duty they’re talking about – illustrates that the same duty exists in a state without those same stupid laws.

Jake, you’d be surprised what the folks in Massachusetts think. Such as that a big-government fan of gun control & socialized medicine like Willard M. Romney could be – gasp! – too conservative! And that a Mayor is a fine guy for wanting to outlaw skateboards as a means to combat gang violence because, you know, that approach works so well. And that the whitest-of-whitebread-June Cleaver wannabe Daughter of the Mayflower senate candidate who claimed to be part Cherokee to get preferential college treatment is just dandy ’cause we all know that with girls, heck, “it’s a college thing”.
Apologies to the many fine folks like Jay G., but they’re vastly outnumbered and it seems that the majority of Bostonians – especially of the Boston lawyer persuasion – seem to think that they do indeed run the world and things would be so much easier if we’d all just line up & do what they say.
It doesn’t have to make sense in Massachusetts. Heck, common sense, logic, and facts are simply too much to bear. And the voters of Massachusetts seem to be fine with all that.
