This really happened...

"A person not employed by the insured entered the store with a rifle and ammunition. Several

of insured's employee's helped him to set up a target against a basement door which opened

onto a public street. They took turns firing at the target. One of the bullets penetrated the door

and killed a passer-by."

Grand Union Co. v. General Accident Fire & Life Assurance Corp., 254 A.D. 274, 4 N.Y.S.2d 704,affirmed 279 N.Y. 638, 18 N.E.2d 38 (1938).

 

The best stories in the world are found in legal cases. If I miss anything after leaving the practice of law, it will be the wild stories that are sprinkled throughout the drudgery of it all...
