In other breaking news Arabs hate Jews, Jews hate Arabs. In our science corner we learn water is wet. Make sure to be there at 11:00

All I'm saying is, this isn't Glocks first rodeo and chances are it was the ammo.

Makes me wonder about two things;
1. If Glock or Remington will get a fair trial in Massachusetts.
2. How many Glock haters will join hands with the anti gun crowd on this issue.

"Part of doing business", anything that can happen with product liability, sooner or later most likely will.

It could have been:
Bad barrel
An owner damaged barrel
Bad / too hot ammo
The guy tried to shoot a 3/8" bolt out of the barrel
He may have stuck it 4" into the water and fired it
Maybe it was Devine provenance telling him people from Mass should touch guns
Maybe shot #2 was a squib and he wasn't smart enough to recognize it

Etc, etc.

But embarrassed people often reach for a lawsuit when they might look really stupid.
I'll wait for the evidence.

Probably not as many Glock lovers dumping on the Sig P320.
