The unintentional discharge of firearms injured 75,685 Americans and caused the death of 776 others in 2000, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). More than 40 percent of those injured every year are age 25 and younger. Many deaths and serious injuries occur every year because gun owners fail to store firearms in a safe and secure manner. For example, a recent study of data from the National Center for Health Statistics indicated that a majority of gun owners with little children do not store their guns locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition.
Negligent storage and discharge of firearms result in a number of deaths and serious injuries every year, particularly among children and teenagers through unintentional shootings. Guns are dangerous instrumentalities that in the wrong hands have the potential to cause serious injury or death. It is the responsibility of a gun owners and users to exercise the highest standard of care when storing or discharging firearms. If they are not responsible, the attorneys at Hall Law will work hard to make them legally accountable.
