Looked at charter oak at cabin fever. Not impressed. Castings are rough as a cob
Hope the balance is worthy of the price

There have been public comments made that suggest that the current offerings are not the same as the one I received a year and a half ago. I can neither confirm or deny however... (lawyer speak, as I was cautioned by a member here that I can be sued for commenting about a company's customer service and/or product). :rolleyes:
 
These were/are actual facts, not opinion or supposition. BUT...as I'm not a lawyer, I'll err on the side of caution. ;)

The truth is an absolute defense. Facts are facts. As long as you relate facts, you're covered!
 
You can absolutely be sued whether you can back it up or not. Guys even if you win you lose, the lawyer alone will cost you several grand. As for winning do you really want to trust that to a jury of people who really don't want to be stuck on jury duty? Think it can't happen? I just spoke with someone who's buddy made a comment on a forum about the poor service he received while visiting a gun store, the judgement won against him was $18,000 wham!
 
Don't know the described story, but comments about 'poor service', if related to attitude or slow service etc., may be difficult to back up with documented evidence or other hard facts. Possibly got nailed for slander if said friend of a friend took it too far. A lawyer friend (yea...don't go there ;) ) Basically says the two may not be the same, but no one here knows exactly what transpired in the case coolidge describes.

I personally find it unlikely that if I stick to the facts and report a DOA or dysfunctional product that the seller refuses to take back, that this can be construed as slander. Those facts are exactly what I would convey to my CC company in a legal dispute. The legal resource agrees. ;)

But like coolidge said, you still have to pay the legal eagles...

But so does the other guy, and if you can convince the court that his suit was frivolous he can be ordered to pay your expenses as well. Thus he has no incentive to file a suit that he has no real prospect of winning. Of course, that doesn't mean he may not *threaten* to sue...
 
As wrmiller said we don't know enough of coolidge's story to get a sense of what really happened. I do know slander cases are not that simple. If the guy in question, posted a negative review explaining the poor service he received from the gun shop, I doubt a case could be won against him. However, if say the guy was constantly berating the gun shop and using general terms like "crook" or "ripoff" and doing it on a local forum that the shops customers would read and damages could be proven... then yes he could be found liable.
Of course a suit could be brought against you for saying anything, but as stated above, you can countersue if its frivolous. Also, the party wishing to sue you has to positively identify you first, not so easily done with posting to an online forum.
