2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 21 - Damages|Part 5 - Product Liability Actions - Firearms and Ammunition|§ 13-21-501. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby declares that it shall be the policy in this state that product liability for injury, damage, or death caused by the discharge of a firearm or ammunition shall be based only upon an actual defect in the design or manufacture of such firearm or ammunition and not upon the inherent potential of a firearm or ammunition to cause injury, damage, or death when discharged.    The general assembly further finds that it shall be the policy of this state that a civil action in tort for any remedy arising from physical or emotional injury, physical damage, or death caused by the discharge of a firearm or ammunition shall be based only upon an actual defect in the design or manufacture of such firearm or ammunition or upon the commission of a violation of a state or federal statute or regulation and not upon any other theory of liability. The general assembly also finds that under no theory shall a firearms or an ammunition manufacturer, importer, or dealer be held liable for the actions of another person.     History.

  In a product liability action, whether a firearm or ammunition shall be deemed defective in design shall not be based upon its potential to cause injury, damage, or death when discharged.    The burden shall be on the plaintiff to prove, in addition to any other elements required to be proven:   In a product liability action alleging a design defect, that the actual design was defective and that such defective design was the proximate cause of the injury, damage, or death;    In a product liability action alleging a defect in manufacture, that the firearm or ammunition was manufactured at variance from its design and that such defective manufacture was the proximate cause of the injury, damage, or death.       The inherent potential of a firearm or ammunition to cause injury, damage, or death when discharged shall not be a basis for a finding that the product is defective in design or manufacture.

  In a product liability action, the actual discharge of a firearm or ammunition shall be the proximate cause of injury, damage, or death resulting from the use of such product and not the inherent capability of the product to cause injury, damage, or death.    The manufacturer's, importer's, or distributor's placement of a firearm or ammunition in the stream of commerce, even if such placement is found to be foreseeable, shall not be conduct deemed sufficient to constitute the proximate cause of injury, damage, or death resulting from a third party's use of the product.    In a product liability action concerning the accidental discharge of a firearm, the manufacturer's, importer's, or distributor's placement of the product in the stream of commerce shall not be conduct deemed sufficient to constitute proximate cause, even if accidental discharge is found to be foreseeable.    In addition to any limitation of an action set forth in section 13-80-119, in a product liability action brought by the criminal, it shall be an absolute defense that the injury, damage, or death immediately resulted from the use of the firearm or ammunition during the commission of the criminal act which is a felony or a class 1 or class 2 misdemeanor.

  A person or other public or private entity may not bring an action in tort, other than a product liability action, against a firearms or ammunition manufacturer, importer, or dealer for any remedy arising from physical or emotional injury, physical damage, or death caused by the discharge of a firearm or ammunition.    In no type of action shall a firearms or ammunition manufacturer, importer, or dealer be held liable as a third party for the actions of another person.    The court, upon the filing of a motion to dismiss pursuant to rule 12 (b) of the Colorado rules of civil procedure, shall dismiss any action brought against a firearms or ammunition manufacturer, importer, or dealer that the court determines is prohibited under subsection (1) or (2) of this section. Upon dismissal pursuant to this subsection (3), the court shall award reasonable attorney fees, in addition to costs, to each defendant named in the action.    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, a firearms or ammunition manufacturer, importer, or dealer may be sued in tort for any damages proximately caused by an act of the manufacturer, importer, or dealer in violation of a state or federal statute or regulation. In any action brought pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (4), the plaintiff shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant violated the state or federal statute or regulation.

     A person against whom recovery is sought is estopped from denying participation in the marketing of illegal drugs if the person has a criminal conviction based on the same circumstances that are the basis for the claim for damages. Said conviction must be for other than mere possession of the specified illegal drug:   That is a felony under the “Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970”, 21 U.S.C. sec. 801, et seq.;    Under section 18-18-405 or 18-18-406, C.R.S.; or    That is a felony related to participation in the marketing of illegal drugs under the laws of another state.       Such a conviction is also prima facie evidence of the person's participation in the marketing of illegal drugs during the two years preceding the date of an act giving rise to a conviction.       The absence of a conviction of a person against whom recovery is sought does not bar an action against that person.     History. Source: L. 99: Entire part added, p. 1264, § 1, effective June 2.
