Jake Fogelman at The Reload is reporting that a Kentucky man who claims his holstered pistol fired on its own and wounded him can proceed with his lawsuit against firearm manufacturer Sig Sauer, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday in Davis v. Sig Sauer that a lower court erred in dismissing Timothy Davis’s product liability claims against Sig Sauer. The ruling, first reported by The Reload, found that the district court wrongly barred Davis from using expert witnesses to support his claim that the P320 handgun was defectively designed due to its lack of external safety mechanisms.
