[QUOTE="finnimus, post: 1332508, member: 12900"] If the design is flawed, it is 100% Remington's responsibility regardless of where the gun is pointed. It's product liability. The gun is only supposed to/designed to discharge when the trigger is pressed. If the gun discharges in a state that it's not designed to discharge, the responsibility falls on Remington. The caveat is whether or not the user's negligence caused the [U]discharge[/U] (drop, poor maintenance, etc.). If it were not for the [U]discharge[/U], the poor handling would not have been a factor. Let's assume safe driving dictates you are supposed to drive 1 car length behind a car for every 10 MPH of speed. Ford comes out and says at 40 MPH, your car may randomly accelerate forward. If you follow the rule and stay 4 car lengths behind the person in front of you, the car will have enough time to slow back down and you won't rear end them. No one would accept that as a safe vehicle. [/QUOTE]
