Ugh. I told a friend of mine that carrying those antique guns with no drop safety is dangerous. She didn't believe me because she is very experienced with guns. The fact that the guy is 66 years old makes him the worst student every. Old folks and other with a lot of experience "know it all" and often refuse to take advice. Since this friend of mine had zero good sense, I spoke with her husband and he bought her a new gun that is drop safe. Please, if you know anyone who carries an antique gun that is not drop safe, convince them to get a new gun for CCW. Those antique autos are fine for the range or HD, but not for CCW. Antique revolvers should be carried on an empty cylinder. Old derringers with not trigger guard should be carried in a holster. If you really have to carry an antique auto because you cannot afford a new gun, do so with an empty chamber.

As to not being sued, the key to that is to apologize, pay up, pay often, and pay MORE than what the lady asks for. If you try to negotiate, then she WILL sue (I know I would sue if the guy who shot me tried to negotiate). You MIGHT be out of hot water if you do that. Unless you're daddy warbucks, nobody really wants to sue you because then, the lawyers will get everything.
