Texas mother sues Academy after selling daughter the gun used in her suicide [More]
The store is supposed to employ mind readers? Not knowing a store is closed and coming back the next day are hardly unmistakable clues.
Sorry, lady. You had a lot more time to influence your daughter’s behavior than they ever did.
My natural human sympathy takes a real hit the second they turn to some scumbag lawyer and jeopardize our right to buy and sell arms.

UPDATE
They’ve been through this once before and were vindicated. Recalling that, I hope they sue the crap out of the plaintiff and file a bar complaint against her lawyer.
David,
In your Update, you write this powerful opinion:
“Recalling that, I hope they sue the crap out of the plaintiff and file a bar complaint against her lawyer.”
You may not realize how powerful that is.
If Academy had refused to do business with the young woman based on the perception — nothing more — that she ‘may’ be suicidal, they would have violated Title III of the ADA. Then they would be liable for doing that.
Academy followed the law.
Period.
