it could be some time before Brandon sees any money, if ever.

You can safely bet Brandon's lawyer will see money, some way, some how. This isn't about Brandon, this is about money, that magical paper substance that bestows the grace of justice upon it's possessors, minus a small transaction cost.

The problem is really not the lawyers, but the idiot jurors and judges. If the jurors and judges would stop awarding huge awards to anyone who sues, no matter how frivolous the lawsuit, the shyster lawyers chasint the "deep pockets" would be out of business. Lawyers keep bringing these lawsuits, because it works for them.

I think we should revamp the judicial and jury system.

Just look at the tobacco awards, and now they are suing fast food places, no matter what stupid things people do, they find someone else to blame and sue.

You have that absolutely right.

NRA member/Attorney weighing in here ...

My understanding, from what I have been able to read about this case, is that one had to take the safety off before the gun could be unloaded, and the plaintiffs contended this was a design defect making the gun unreasonably unsafe.

One analogy I have heard is to a lawn mower manufacturer making a lawnmower that you could only change the blades on it while the gas-powered motor was on (which would undoubtedly make it more dangerous).

I believe the vast majority of these lawsuits against gun manufacturers are completely frivolous, but I also allow for the possibility that some guns may be poorly designed or manufactured, making them even more dangerous than they are inherently.

IMHO

Some lawyers give their Profession a very bad name, esp. this case...we need tort reform...lawyers=liberals=scum
