The gun supposedly fell on the floor and fired. The owner of the now defunct Bryco Arms. had a default judgement against him because he did not appear. Does this set bad legal percent for gun manufacturers?
Does that mean that if he had appeared he may not have had the $2.2 million judgement against him?

Lawsuit ends in $9 million award for Fayette woman for misfired gun
Posted: 5:19 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014
A Fayette County woman has been awarded a total of $9 million because the “Saturday night special” she bought for protection ended up killing her 14-year-old brother when she dropped the .38 caliber handgun as she was putting it on the dining room table.
Hardware also sued the owner of the company that made the gun, now-defunct Bryco Arms. She won a $2.2 million default judgment against Bruce Jennings, the owner, because he did not appear at trial.
