Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
The provisions of this act do not apply to actions for deceit,
breach of contract, or expressed or implied warranties, or for
injuries resulting from failure of firearms to operate in a normal
or usual manner due to defects or negligence in design or
manufacture.  The provisions of this act do not apply to actions
arising from the unlawful sale or transfer of firearms, or to
instances in which the transferor knew, or should have known, that
the recipient would engage in the unlawful sale or transfer of the
firearm, or would use, or purposely allow the use of, the firearm in
an unlawful, negligent, or improper fashion.  For purposes of this

section, the potential of a firearm to cause serious injury, damage,
or death as a result of normal function does not constitute a
defective condition of the product.  A firearm may not be deemed
defective on the basis of its potential to cause serious injury,
damage, or death when discharged.
