Pistol explosion
OPELIKA, Ala. — A federal court in Alabama, on remand from the 11th Circuit, denied the pistol manufacturer Taurus’s motion to dismiss breach-of-warranty claims brought by a woman who says her firearm “blew apart” at a firing range, resulting in face and eye injuries to her husband, who had gifted the pistol to her. The court “will not ignore a clear directive” from the appellate court to allow her claim to proceed to discovery.
