A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge recently dismissed a lawsuit filed by a retired Los Angeles police officer who sued a gun maker after his 3-year-old son shot him.

Anaheim, California resident Enrique Chavez was off-duty when he was shot in the back by his son, who was not in a car seat when he fired his father's nearby .45-caliber Glock.
 
Chavez, who was left paralyzed from the waist down, sued Glock, alleging that the gun's safety was "non-existent or ineffective."  The defense countered that Chavez admitted he forgot the gun was in the back seat when he put his son in the truck.
 
In dismissing the suit, the judge cited an "exhaustive review" of the gun's safety conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department prior to purchase.
 
The suit also alleged negligence on the part of the maker of the gun's holster, the store where Chavez bought the holster and the store where he purchased the gun.
