Whoever wrote the complaint should be easy pickings, probably doesn't know which end of the tube a bullet comes out of. The complaint says straw purchases is one of the "main ways" people that aren't able to obtain guns get them. How many "main ways" can there be,?

Completely BS lawsuit. Like you (or any good FFL) would risk it all for the $20 profit one would make on that sale.
I have sent you a bunch of work over the years and you set the bar for prompt, professional, and quality work. I am sure you will prevail but it may be a PITA. Forum overloards - If anyone here has ever deserved our support it is bigbore, please let us help him out with fundraising. |

View Quote The police report says that the idiot bought the gun for a crazy person because she was worried she had mental health issues and didn't think she'd pass a background check. That idiot is in deep shit but ADCO has no liability unless they can prove that he knew it was a straw purchase. I'm sure (in fact I've seen with my own eyes) that gun stores get "weird" people in there shops all the time. This is just an ambulance chaser throwing everything but the kitchen sink and hoping as much sticks as possible. |

It's a total BS case but this is a good example of just shutting the fuck up when questioned about ANYTHING criminal. Look at how they took his minimal statements and ran with them to use them against ADCO. "Odd dynamic" if you ware an FFL or just anyone for that matter do not answer ANY questions period.

It’s an absurd legal theory (both proximate cause with a suicide as an intervening event and the idea that you have an obligation to “always” - their words - ask more questions than are on the 4473 to detect potential straw purchases), but they’re just hoping that once it gets turned over to an insurance defense firm the insurance company will tender a settlement offer they can live with to avoid dealing with the case. Best of luck, brother! |

Hang in there.
They should probably sue Zohn but rule #1 don't sue poor people. You General Liability carrier will take some time to review coverages on your GL policy. They will compare the policy language to the accusations in the complaint. Since the complaint will have to be answered timely your policy will probably move forward with answering the complaint. You will get a very long Reservation of Rights letter spelling out any potential issues that could arise with coverage. Insurance counsel is typically very good. I would expect your GL policy may provide a defense for you as well so you might want to see what your carrier says before spending money on your own counsel. ETA: Not a lawyer |

ATF regulations define straw purchase, not federal law. The federal crime is still the same though, lying on the 4473.
The current straw purchase definition is if you’re buying the firearm for someone else. An older straw purchase definition, and I believe the original, is if you’re buying the firearm for a prohibited person. Keeping up with nearly constant regulation changes is a headache. |

Tragic story, I feel for the family. That said their involvement of ADCO seems like a stretch and a cash grab... I hope you and your company win and get your fees back, not going to get your time back that's for sure
I have been behind the counter of a couple stores a many times (security contractor) and have referred a few folks to the owner to be kicked out for: reeking of weed and or being high AF, obvious straw purchase, or clearly disturbed/plain weird. I have also been in a store more than once including behind the counter dealing with a clearly suicidal person (we got them help). I have spent a lot of time (too much) in gun stores and never have I ever seen a sale made that was questionable, even in pawn brokers in rough parts of Denver. |
