Mark1647545493 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/25/paralyzed-cop-suing-glock-after-his-3-year-old-son-shot-him/ California’s Second District Court of Appeal said on Tuesday that a paralyzed Los Angeles police officer, who was shot by his 3-year-old son, could move forward with his lawsuit again gun manufacturer Glock. Enrique Chavez’s lawsuit claimed that the Glock 21 had a light trigger and lacked a grip saftey, both of which could have prevented the shooting. Los Angeles Judge Kevin Brazile dismissed Chavez’s case two years ago, saying that he had failed to show that an alternate gun design would have prevented the shooting. Brazile also said that a police department review of the handgun showed that the advantages outweighed the risk. But earlier this week, the state appeals court ruled 3-0 that the suit could move forward, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. After reviewing evidence presented by Chavez’s lawyers, the court found that a grip safety “would minimize the risk of accidental discharge without undermining performance.” In 2006, Chavez’s son accidentally shot him in the back after the off-duty officer forgot that he had left the loaded .45-caliber pistol under the front seat of this Ford Ranger. The child was not in a safety seat at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm with ya... What about the judge that's letting it proceed? You think the judge knows shit about guns? This guy could have: Bought another gunResponsibly stored the gunLeft the gun unloadedHad a safety device/lock on the gunNot left the gun in his carRaised a kid with better aim or taught him to go for the head, eliminating these problems. Sadly, with how gun ignorant and intolerant Cali is, I'm sure this will move on to more judges with their eyeballs so full of dicks that Glock will spend millions of dollars in legal fees and either Pay the fucker a bunch of moneyNot pay the fucker a bunch of money, and lose money on legal feesSettle out of court and pay the fucker a bunch of money Seriously, fuck this guy. This isn't as bad as the woman suing in the Aurora case but this was his own fucking fault. I hope Glock countersues and wins the case forcing the guys son to go to a juvenile detention center for 15 years. Real good parenting, dad.

This guys is a piece of shit looking to get money out of a situation that never should have happened. If this guy is this stupid and not responsible enough to keep his firearm safe, how in the hell is/was he a cop. Seriously, I hope he loses. Glocks have been the same Since the 80's, proper training that he should have acquired would have taught him how to keep his weapon safe and secured at all times. 110% his fault.

Mark1647545493 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 You think the judge knows shit about guns? I expect the judge to have common sense and reason, not knowledge of guns (that would be a plus). I would like to know what the logic was the judge used that led him to the conclusion this lawsuit needs to move forward. Was the judge high on the ridiculously potent weed when this decision was made? I hope Glock countersues and wins too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 California sickens me along with the so called father. I think the father should have been charged with gross neglegence in this instance. I'd still laugh if it was a 1911 or a Beretta 92F in this case. Knowing this oxygen thief, he'd have the safety off anyways. I hope his manhood is no longer a functioning organ to reproduce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a cop means he should have had the proper training. If he has and he disregarded it then it is 100% his fault and he deserves to lose his job. If he didn't have the proper training, its his department's fault. But in the end its still has fault for being an adult and disregarding common sense. Also, he should lose his kid to child services for hauling him around without being in a car seat, let alone leaving a loaded gun where the kid can play with it.

Hahn Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Glock should counter sue for this Dick to pay all there court fees and for giving the Glock name a bad rep. 100% the so called "Dads" fault and no one else to blame. Its sad that the American Judicial system even lets these kind of cases get as far as they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 This is what's wrong with the fucking world. People want to come up with other reasons why they fail, or something went wrong, instead of reflecting on their own ignorance. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS. It's not Glock's fault you gave a fucking gun to a 3 year-old, that was your first dumb move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
