Liability dangers in making a "portable gun target"
I have a junk steel plate approximately 1 1/4 inch thick, 40x40 inches
in size. It is junk because it is warped, I would say, it is about 1/2 inch out of flat. So I cannot, in good conscience, weld it to a base and call it a welding table. So, I thought for a while, what can I do with it? Yesterday, I made a portable gun target plate on wheels for myself from another steel plate. This one is 3/4 inch thick and appx. 40x40 inches, and it works great for rimfire rifles. It made me think about this and I thought, how about I make and sell a portable gnu target from the big plate, by welding a base on casters underneath. The question and concern is, what sort of liability can I potentially be exposed to if something goes wrong. Say, a bullet ricochets and kills a kitten a mile away, or whatever. Any comments are welcome. |
