Bryco/Jennings Lawsuit Update

A jury has awarded someone who dropped a gun “on a glass dining room” $6M because that’s what people not smart enough to get out of jury duty do:

Hardware paid $89.95 for a new Bryco/Jennings pistol that Bell said Richardson had bought “in bulk” a year earlier.

According to testimony, a few weeks after buying the gun a friend tried to fire the gun but it jammed. Hardware took the gun back to Richardson, who on that night was working at a liquor store he also owned.

Richardson tried but failed to move the pistol’s slide that was locked in place. He removed the magazine but there was a live round in the chamber and the gun was cocked.

Richardson returned the gun to a zipped case and told Hardware to bring it to the pawn shop the following Monday, when his “gun guy” would be at work and could look at it, according to testimony in the week-long trial.

Later that evening, Billy Bullard was shot in the stomach when Hardware dropped the gun as she was putting her purse and other items on the dining room table. Hardware and a friend rushed the teenage boy to the hospital but he died while his sister cradled him.

“One of points that impacted the jury was the owner, Mr. Richardson, testified that the gun he sold to 21-year-old Tiffany was one he would never recommend to one of his family member,” Bell said.

First of all, I make a lot of typos. But wow. That’s in a major newspaper. Second, this is kind of stupid. You bought a crappy gun. And, third, you dropped it.

Long ball

ATF update on the Sig SB-15 brace

Firearms Technology Branch tells shotgun maker, Black Aces Tactical, that shouldering it may turn a gun into a short barreled shotgun. So, yes on rifles and not on shotguns?

The Taurus Curve looks like a really horrible gun

Let’s start with the obvious. It’s bent:

taurus_curve_22

It’s bent to bend to the curves of your body. Now, most guns are straight up and down. Seems like the curvature would be an ergonomic problem. To curve them to our body, we use holsters. This brings me to the next reason it seems awful. It has a clip on it to tuck it in your pants:

taurus_curve_111

So, you’re tucking a DAO, presumably striker fired, gun into your pants. And I said presumably striker fired because look at that trigger. What is that thing? I don’t even.

Up next, it has no iron sights. At all. Instead, it has a light and a laser that I can’t see how you operate. Which leads me to believe you have to do something to activate them and that they don’t come on when you draw it.

And it sucks for southpaws.

This looks like a bad idea. But Guns and Ammo (source of pics) likes it.

Update: More on why it sucks from Caleb.

Update 2: I should read more blogs before I write since they’re saying the same thing: All about that base

Responding to terror

Israel to ease requirements for gun permits after attack on synagogue. Also, the synagogues are hiring armed security.

But the NRA is anti-NFA they told me

Yet, they keep going to bat for suppressor laws.
