Care to enlighten us?

No duty to safeguard a weapon? Hmm. Safe storage laws apply to whom?

Wondering.

From my perspective the real question is: Can the owner of a car be held responsible for the negligence of the person driving the car?

I do not think the owner can be. The person who left the gun there was the party whose actions resulted in a gun being stolen, then used to kill Kate Steinle. Let's apply the same principle in another scenario:

What if the car was a rented car? Would the car rental agency be responsible for the actions of the renter? I would vote no on that question.

To me, this seems like an example of going after deep pockets. Don't get me wrong, her death was a terrible tragedy, and the man who killed her should rot the rest of his life in jail.

As to the guy who left the gun in the car, he is the one who should have been sued (maybe he was?).
