I have a question that probably should be answered by a lawyer but I’m going to pose my question here anyway.
I have an old model Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum that has not had the safety bar installed. If I were to sell this gun in its original configuration and the new owner had an accidental discharge, could I be named in a lawsuit? I guess if I sold it I could always have the new owner sign a statement that he/she understands the risk and that the gun must be carried with the hammer resting on an empty chamber.
The thought of being named in a lawsuit is the reason I’m considering sending it to the factory for the recall repair. What are your thoughts?
