Has anyone as a Sole Prop. has any problems with clients blaming the engraver for failing/ defective gun parts?

I want to start engraving guns in the near future and has a little concern being a Sole prop.

Thank you,
Denny

Denny, I guess people don't much care to discuss legal stuff on the internet. I don't recall hearing of anyone having such a problem, but then, that sort of news might not ever be spread about.

You might consider an LLC (limited liability company), it helps to insulate your personal assets from your business assets

I would think that unless you are engraving VERY deep, anyone would have a hard time proving that the engraving caused part failure. Most engraving is only about 0.015" deep, and gun manufacturers have a tendency to make their parts "bullet proof" (pun intended!!!)

I like an LLC but any time you alter a firearm no matter how small the manufacture is off the hook for liability, because you changed their product not them. Ask your attorney and protect yourself and family.:thinking:
