That's a really interesting case with civil liability. Especially when you consider that, if I was a gun manufacturer, I would immediately blame failing maintenance for the hang. There are just so many little conditions that have to be just right for a manufacturer to be liable for something like that, but, from a fairness standpoint I wouldn't mind seeing that go into place. Just seems like the right thing to do. Even if it does end up that a lot of people who were accidentally shot get a lesson on why you should clean your firing pin and use the prescribed ammo in court.
