Cops: Gun Range Claimed Uzi Release Forms 'Were Blown Away By The Wind'

92. Yup. I've seen it happen to two acquaintances

They also did everything right. One of them was a barn fire where the hay caught fire in a separate outbuilding! But the wind carried the sparks and 30+ horses died and a groom was seriously wounded.

In their cases it was the workmen's comp policy costs and the fact that they couldn't get any decent coverage from any other carrier for liability that put them out of business.

Waivers are a feeble first defense and lawyers know it. Insurance carriers like mine don't even require us to have one though we do. Our attorney was blunt about the realistic nature of how much they could protect us if disaster struck. Zip.

This gun range clearly was at fault with their policies. The insurance carrier isn't even going to fight whatever settlement the family of the dead instructor wants. They'll quietly pay. Same with any $ the 9 year old girl' s family wants for pain and suffering.

And that range will (justifiably) never open again. Ever.
