A case several years ago in Knoxville, TN, Gaston Glock himself was subpoenaed into court to testify on the construction and safety mechanisms in the pistols that bear his name.

On the stand, he was so pissed about the allegations against his pistols, he spoke only in German.

The case was about a K.P.D. officer who shot a suspect in the back of the head and the officer claimed the pistol "accidentally fired".

Did you see this yourself, or just hear about it? I'd have to call BS on this. There is no way to subpoena somebody from Europe to appear and testify in the U.S., and I doubt he'd show up voluntarily for something like this.

Aaaaaaaaugh!

The one that pisses me of is 'could care less.'

If I am very upset about something and care very much I certainly could care less.

If I do not care at all about something I couldn't care less.

Found it. November 1993, product-liability suit in Knoxville, Tennessee. If you want more info on the court case, go to Knoxnews.com. There is a fee to access the archives, but it is there.

I will accept apologies graciously.

Hey, if it happened, it happened and I'll eat my plate of crow. You can't subpoena people from other continents and make them appear, however. There just isn't any authority or ability to do it. I know Gaston is supposedly an egomaniac about his guns being perfect, so perhaps he came over to personally guarantee it on the stand.
