Don't let your whammy get you in a jammy.
One box to keep around the house or range as a conversation starter, cool. But if Hornaday gets sued one time and settles out of court, whoa be to you if you get served by a civil lawyer. Then you can pout and stomp your foot all you want and threaten to do an "Occupy" this or that, but the bottom line? You'll be driving hoopties for the rest of your life.
All for what? Because you like green instead of red? Really?
It ain't about going to jail. It's about keeping some bottom feeding low-life from taking your quality of life away. For damn near the rest of your life.
You say they, "can't get blood out of a rock?" They can put a lien against future earnings, the sale of your house, hell, they can even put a lien against your estate. Bub, you lose in civil court, you might end up wanting to put one of those green meanies through your head when you realize what you did was dumber than Forrest Gump.
Hey, but if you're some big daddy's rich kid, knock your socks off. Ain't going to be no skin off my hide, yo.
You know why so many civil cases settle? Because in criminal court it takes all 12 to convict. In most states, civil court is 5 out of 9. You can usually settle for less, but a finding for the complainant means you get smacked down with the 'Full Monty'. In civil court, "You buys yo' tickets, you takes yo' chances". Feel lucky?
