![]() ![]() So they’re going to get sued because he was using a pistol in a manner deemed acceptable by the authorities? And with any lawsuit with a significant exposure, EVERYONE gets sued: The people in the squad, the squad leader, the match director, the entire board of directors, the land owner, the brace manufacturer, the ammunition manufacturer, and heck, maybe even the ATF for allowing the use in that open letter. I wonder if this club that allowed him to compete ever thought that by allowing this, they could be losing their ability to put on competitions. The club's land could be confiscated in the judgment as well. This opens the club to possible exemplary or punitive damages that could effective extinguish the club. The club could expose itself by simply allowing the Sig Brace super tactical wannabe to compete in violation of standards and rules sanctioned by the USPSA. The problem is, are there any standards or exclusions that might preclude a club from seeking coverage for defense and indemnification from a lawsuit should someone be injured by this guy using an improper firearm in competition?īut let's say that liability insurance does apply at the club level. While there may or may not be insurance available from USPSA, there is insurance available to the club running the match. Yeh, I guess some explanation is in order. **Note: Sig Brace and any variant thereof is not allowed**" If the stcok is attached (and it is a _stock_) then it must be a rifle, not a pistol. Specifically, Appendix D8.6: "Must have stock attached and be capable of being fired from shoulder position. OP: Sarge posted the handgun rule 5.1.10, (plus the fact that handguns must be holstered in USPSA or SCSA), and the SCSA/USPSA rule for PCC is that it must be a rifle, not a pistol. ![]() That's the point, really: If this was a USPSA/SCSA match, it wouldn't have been allowed, as the rules for handgun specifically disallow it, and the rules for PCC specifically disallow it. As such, this obviously does not qualify. Sarge already posted the rule about handguns with stocks/foregrips, but if you are talking about PCC, this is irrelevant, because in PCC it must be a rifle, not a pistol. I'm not sure you are correct about that, because "shouldering" isn't anything ruled upon-the ATF may have made some decisions regarding that, but USPSA skipped it entirely by requiring the PCC to be a rifle. USPSA ruling on shouldering a braced pistol? Hm. If you don’t allow PCC at your club match, why did you allow him to shoot his pistol shouldered through the match? (NOTE: I know USPSA’s ruling on shouldering a braced pistol) ![]()
