Now you won’t have to worry about your employer being sued when you shoot someone in a $15 robbery.
For a change, there seems to be a reasonable court decision. The Army did not have control over this soldier when he was out and about and not under their control.
It is sad however that if the death involved alcohol, the people that made it, sold it, distributed it, provided it and served it could be liable (depending on state).
Personal responsibility and ownership of one’s actions are quickly being litigated into a thing of the past.
Seems to me that only the folks that sold it, if they sold it like in a bar or gave it directly to him in some other venue, should be considered liable.
Otherwise, seems though you could hold the auto maker liable if someone intentionally runs someone else over.
The “recruit” didn’t obtain the weapon used “during service” – The Recruiting officer allowed the early entry candidate (17 years and still in HS) move into his apartment where he kept an unsecured loaded 9mm gun even after his superior officer told him not to get involved with the kidt after he was kicked out of his mothers house – It is against army regulations to have any personal relationship with enlisted other than to keep tabs on them until they report – This man allowed an unstable 17 year old with a checkered violent past move into his apartment where he gained access to the weapon. CNA is trying to recover the estimated 5million dollar WC from the Army because one of their own messed up.
