There are literally 4 pages of safety warnings in my taurus manual. Ill try to get a pic for you to show you how C.Y.A they went with the safety labels.
Is one of their warnings “Don’t buy a Taurus”?
having a gun secured = bad
having a gun unsecured = bad
answer:
dont have a gun.
at least, i think thats what they said
a real catch-22! damned if you do, damned if you don’t!
I think it means if it is secured too well say in a lockbox, then you may not be able to get it in time if needed. if you leave it out in the open, a child or criminal (or ex wife) may get to it. if you have it safely on your person with an appropriate holster or something then you are good to go.
I just store my weapons bolt/slide locked back on full mags of personal defense ammo. Whichever 1 I decide to keep handy for the night comes out of the safe and is returned in the morning. Anyways Taurus=fail.
Lawyers strike again! News at 11.
I think one of the warnings is mandated, the other tongue in cheek common sense. I like it!
i like your take on this, i shall adopt it as my own
Nailed it
Warning: Life may result in injury or death.
yep
Definitely death. Well, there was that one guy… but nobody’s seen him for a long time.
SOL.
Further proof that product liability law, and the plaintiff’s bar, is out of control in this country. We need tort reform to be imposed nation-wide, and we need to suspend/disbar personal injury lawyers that abuse the legal system (a decision that ought to be made by a panel independent of the individual state’s Attorney’s Bar).
Oh the irony, fighting regulation with more regulation.
they are just playing both sides to save their own ass i dont blame em some dumbass could do something and then try to blame taurus.
is gun. is bad. you buy it.
someone set up us the gun
Further evidence that Taurus markets to retards.
Ruger is the worst offender when it comes to warnings. They etch that shit onto the guns. I like the looks of my SP101, except the big spot on the barrel that says “HOLY FUCKING SHIT! THIS IS A GUN! YOU’LL SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT! NEVER USE THIS GUN!” Its a bloody paragraph of engraving on the left side of the barrel and it drives me NUTS.
Reading a car manual is the same thing. There’s almost no useful information in there beyond “Warning, something bad can happen if you drive”.
