This sets a very scary precedent, and not just about guns. Alcohol manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, and any number of other products that can be tied to someone's death can now be sued and expect to pay big. That’s sorta been in play for some time now that’s why the tobacco and alcohol ads have faded away for the most part. We quit having company get together’s with alcohol for liability reasons years ago! Yes but the person buying smokes or booze is the person using it or most of the time anyway Most companies have gone away from alcohol at get togethers or have a two drink limit A lot of companies Including us are when your driving a company truck or car you are not allowed to drink or stop at a liquor store or at a establishment that serves liquor we somewhat turn a blind eye to the last one at lunch time I myself have taken many of my builders out to lunch at a bar restaurant that’s never really been a big issue most of the guys that work for us pack lunch

If the insurance companies weren't liable, then why would they have made the offer they did? Please explain how the insurance company, or the manufacturer, is liable for the actions of someone who stole a product, killed the product's owner, then went on a killing spree to "beat his top score" of a video game? For that matter, why isn't the video game manufacturer liable? Why not the drug manufacturer whose medication didn't correct his mental health behavior? Why not the drug manufacturers and the States that decided back in the 70's that state mental hospitals weren't necessary because the pharmaceutical industry could control them at home? Why would the insurance companies make an offer of that size if they felt they weren't liable? In the end, the only people who can answer that question would be the two insurance companies involved.

Epically if your involved in a accident when returning to work.

Epically if your involved in a accident when returning to work. I have no problem with eating at a bar that’s why I said we turn some what of a blind eye in many small towns or by the lakes it’s the only place My issue is my truck sitting at the bar with all my name company logo for the public to see. We don’t allow bumper stickers no tee shirts with politics guns or things like that it’s all about image and perception of the company your allowing in your home.
