Oakland School Shooting

Ok.. I see what you are saying. No. The gun owner is responsible for the gun' s use in any case of someone who is given access to the weapon.

Potentally if I loan you ( an adult allowed guns)  to go hunting - and you go off on a nut - I could be held criminally and civilly accountable. I don' t know of any such criminal cases - but there was a civil case some years back... If I give you access to the gun safevand you take the gun - it is not stolen.


The exemption is for if the gun is STOLEN - implying someone who does not have access to the gun safe.


This is a clear case of negligence.....

If he took the gun without his father’s permission or knowledge, it was stolen - access to the safe seems immaterial. If you have a houseguest and one night they walk off with your TV, they’ve stolen it even though they had your permission to be in the house and access to your television.

When televisions become deadly they will have to write a law covering liabilities of those.


By giving the kid access to the safe the father negates any right to protection from liability by way of the exemption.....
