The estate of Bryan Galliher \u2014 through Columbus-based law firm Cooper & Elliott and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence \u2014 filed the lawsuit Tuesday morning in the Wayne County Court of Common Pleas.<\/p>\n

In the complaint, attorneys argued Cabela\u2019s, and its parent company, Bass Pro Group LLC, violated state law by selling a \u201cblack powder gun\u201d \u2014 a replica of an antique firearm made from modern materials \u2014 to Paul R. Claren, the Orrville man who killed Galliher using the gun in August 2016.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that Cabela\u2019s knew, or should have known, about Claren\u2019s violent past, and therefore should not have sold him the black powder revolver.<\/p>\n

\u201cCabela\u2019s and its employees knew and\/or should have known firearms law in Ohio, the state in which it was operating, including the law that prohibited Cabela\u2019s from selling a black powder firearm to Claren,\u201d the complaint states.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that Claren purchased an 1858 Army .44-caliber black powder revolver from Cabela\u2019s over the phone in December 2014. In July 2016, Cabela\u2019s also sold Claren a black powder loading kit that he used to load the revolver, the lawsuit states.<\/p>\n

Harry Campbell, a police officer and chief investigator for the Stark County Coroner\u2019s Office, testified during the trial that under federal firearms regulations, anyone could purchase the type of pistol Claren used without going through an FBI background check. He added Ohio law is more restrictive when it comes to convicted felons.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am unfamiliar with Ohio law specific to this idea that they must run some kind of a background check different than that which is required by Federal law.\u00a0 Does Ohio have some mechanism by which you can see the criminal history of anyone wanting to purchase a firearm?\u00a0 \u00a0 Many questions unasked in this article.\u00a0 If he was not required to fill out a Form 4473, how does the gun shop know if he is not supposed to have a Black Powder Pistol?\u00a0 Maybe the Buckeye state has a system that I just don’t know about.\u00a0 You can read the whole thing HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
