Negligent sales in firearm cases
Negligent sales may occur when there is a sale in violation of law or when there is a sale to purchasers who are intoxicated, mentally unstable, or who indicate that they are apt to misuse the weapon.
A negligent sale case may also occur when a store gives physical possession of a weapon to a prospective purchaser before all the legal requirements for the sale are completed.
Recently, at least one court has held that gun manufacturers have a duty to exercise reasonable care in marketing and distribution of their products so as to guard against risk of criminal misuse.
