Common sense will never be common again - unfortunately. Neither will personal responsitbility. You've got that right!

No mention of how the shot occured. No connection shown between the design and the accident. I guess there must have been, or the jury wouldn't have given the award.
+1 that it was interesting the gun store was liable...maybe they told the owner it was safe to load all 5.
No mention of all the colt's out there either.
Plastic surgery? What would that say about a lawyer?

C'mon, you guys haven't mentioned one of the best parts of the video! @ 15:25 into the video the dweeb conducting the interview leads the plaintiff with "You're a victim here, aren'tcha?" to which said "victim" replies "Well, yeah, you could say that!" ARGHHHH!!! EVERYONE is a victim and NO ONE is personally responsible for ANYTHING anymore! Any word on whether our "victim" is gonna sue the pants off of his dumbazz buddy that actually shot him? Of course not!
And later @ 19:10, in drawing an analogy between vehicles and firearms, the "victim" says "You make certain assumptions about operation of the vehicle without reading the owners manual" basically admitting that SOMEONE was operating the FA M83 without having actually RTFM! You know, a big rig and a my passenger vehicle both have steering wheels and gas pedals, but I'm fer DA**ED sure going to RTFM before I try operating the big rig or most any new vehicle!!
As said above, we live in an age abesent responsibility and devoid common sense.
Max.
P.S. And what's with that host's face? He looks like he, Joan Rivers and Nancy Pelosi share the same mortician/plastic surgeon!
On the positive side, how many guys can claim to have been shot with a .454 and lived to tell about it?

This is the kind of crap that made Ruger decide to stop making the OM revolvers and switch to the NM guns. At least one such case was decided in the Oregon Court of Appeals. I'm surprised we don't see more of this with Colts and other SA revolvers.
Like Lee, this brand of drivel makes me throw up in my mouth... sick to my stomach. Some people think they know how guns work just because they were born male.
I've seen it first hand, too, where some guy has a gun and just assumes every other gun works like his. I personally stopped a guy who was joking around with a Ruger GP100, dumped the loaded rounds out and plugged one back in, spun the cylinder, locked it up and was raising the gun to his head to play Russian Roulette.... I grabbed the gun by the top strap and cylinder of the gun and took it away while yelling "stop!"
Man, that round was loaded up to fire if he had pulled the trigger. I showed him this, and he responded by saying the cylinders on revolvers rotate clockwise. I told him, maybe so on your SA Ruger BH, but this is a DA Ruger and it rotates counter-clockwise. I showed him I was right, and his eyes got big and his face went white. It was Christmas morning, and his mom was in the next room.
