YOU ASK:

What is the definition of Gun Liability?

WE ANSWER:

Gun liability refers to the concept that holds the manufacturers and dealers of guns liable for injuries or deaths caused by the gun.

This is applicable in some states and lawsuits have been made based on this legal concept. It allows victims to sue for damages as a result of the gun having been discharged.

Even when the one who pulls the trigger has the final responsibility, liability for the death or damage does not end there. Not only is the shooter liable, there are also other who are liable - the manufacturers, the importer of the gun, the dealers and even the owner of the gun as well.

There are also some legal aspects of the concept of gun liability. For example, in some interpretations, it may make the gun owner liable if someone is hurt by the gun after that same gun has been stolen.

In any case, the gun liability concept strives to make those who sell and own guns to be extra careful about using and safeguarding the gun.
