Exactly. Thank you.

Wait... lemme get this straight, an EMPLOYEE racked a round in the chamber and gave it to the customer who then fired it and was cited? Where is that employee's responsibility in this? I smell a lawsuit!

Sound like the employee racked the round, but it was not able to put it into battery.

The gun was taken to the counter where guns are routinely checked before they are brought into the store. The clerk checked the rifle and noticed nothing in the chamber but had trouble putting the bolt back in, Natale said.

The customer took the gun back and pushed the bolt in, Natale said. That action put a bullet in the chamber.

The customer pointed the gun toward the floor and pulled the trigger to make sure it was safe, Natale said. It fired one round.

Ya would have thought ONE of the two would have seen THE BULLET causing the bolt to be hard to close!!!

A lawsuit? Because the guy brought in a LOADED weapon HE discharged?

The customer service clears the firearm for the safety of their customers and staff but ultimately YOUR firearm. YOUR responsibility.

You would sure think so.. Or maybe investigate further into why the bolt wasn't sliding smoothly?

Eyaaaah...a 7mm Remington Mag going off inside a building? I'm surprised that the windows didn't blow out from the earth-moving shockwave.

Thats 7mm, not 10mm.

I misread it and thought the employee closed the bolt. Either way, he "cleared" the gun and handed it back and I can guarantee that most any good lawyer will tell you that that opened them up for liability.

I am surprised that the report said the firearm was confiscated. When I left the Numb Nutz was picking out the scope he wanted mounted and the firearms manager had possession of the rifle. The mall cop was berating the man treating him like the idiot he was. The local PD had not made it on scene yet, so I guess they could have confiscated it.

Question is, under what statute do they take possession under? And does the owner ever get his rifle back?
