My car got dinged by an unlicensed, uninsured "undocumented worker," so I'm gonna sue the dealer who sold the car to him. Or better yet, I'll sue his car's manufacturer, Nissan; they have deeper pockets.

Yup.

Should see that soon with drunk drivers who kill other drivers too. Lawyers will use the gun case(s) as substantiation.

Will fat people sue fork makers next? Plate makers? Supermarkets?

As an aside, the mass shooter sort of bought the gun at Buds. It was shipped to an FFL in IL for delivery and transfer. That locality had banned the weapon, the dealer was not aware. The contention is that Buds should not have shipped the gun to a suburb where it was illegal. They defense is the onus is on the customer and local dealer to know the law, Buds cannot be aware of every law in every small town in the country. I follow it when I can get info, mostly from a local attorney.

Already partway there. In many states an establishment and/or its servers can be (are?) deemed liable if an intoxicated customer served at said establishment subsequently goes out and commits mayhem for which their state of intoxication is deemed contributory.

We're getting closer and closer. Witness Panera being sued twice, recently, for liability in the deaths of two individuals that partook of its Charged Lemonade, at least one of which arguably shouldn't have been drinking any caffeinated beverages at all--and knew it.

And yeah: The high caffeine content in those beverages is clearly listed on the fountain.

Anybody with two functioning neurons to rub together that was paying attention could predict the evolution of these kinds of things back in 1992.

Had a situation with a large online Gun place that is local to me that gave me a hard time because my DL did not have Dr. appended to the street and I did on my 4473, even though this is easily checked and I have always used both interchangeably (Dr or not) for 40 years.
I cancelled the order and went back a few weeks later (price was better).
So never say never when it's just the mindless doing stupid things.
Intentional misconduct is another thing ~ like Black Rifle Coffee.

Late to see this...

I live in the Houston area as well and the exact same thing happened to me (at the same place I am sure). Yes, my driver's license does not have "Drive" appended to the name of the street. I have lived at the same address for over 30 years. NEVER had a problem EVER before this happened and I bought two other firearms from the same place this past year.

I cancelled the order and they lost a sale because of this "malformed and misinformed policy".
