The court denied that motion, holding that Valor could be liable for selling a gun that was "unreasonably dangerous and defective" because it lacked a locking system or other safety feature to prevent unauthorized use.

Let ordinary citizens and a few schoolteachers follow their own consciences in arming to defend themselves, and watch the school shootings go away." -Brad Edmonds
