The class was a Firearms Instructor school. The lead instructor owned the MG 34. Failed to check it prior to bringing it into the classroom.
The lead instructors lawyer is claiming "some" clupability but they are also saying that some of the clupability rests on the student who was dicking with the weapon.
Oh and I failed to mention this BIG part. The reason why the MG 34 was there was because various weapons were brought into teach the students how to check and make safe various weapons.

Going to be an open and shut lawsuit IMO.
Strike One, Instructor fails to check weapons and make them safe prior to allowing anyone else to handle them.
Strike Two, Instructor brings a loaded, instructional weapon into the classroom "safe area".
Strike Three, Instructor relinquishes control of a dangerous weapons system to students not yet trained to handle them.
Where's my thread concerning choosing a "competent" firearms instructor? This was not that DEA weapons safety instructor teaching weapons safety again was it?
