The Lucky Gunner case from Colorado was covered by specific statutes calling for fee-shifting in the event of frivolous claims against firearms and ammunition manufacturers or sellers. Delaware doesn't have a statute specifically protecting the firearm industry like that.
basically, the company defends itself, and the plaintiff must pay all defendant legal costs.
to the lawyers, would delaware law require reimbursement if cabelas defends and wins?

This is patently false. If we felt for any articulable reason this was a straw purchase management stood behind us. The last thing any gunseller wants is to know that they helped get a gun on the street illegally. [emoji35]

When someone brings a civil suit before the courts, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs always suggests that you add as many names to your complaint as possible. It increases the possibility that you will get something out of it. As far as an employee knowingly conducting a straw purchase you would think that there would have been a criminal investigation by the Feds if they believed it to be so.Not a lawyer but I agree with this. You get one shot and if you leave the one person/company that could have been held responsible out of the suit, your shot is over once the case it dismissed.
