$400 Million Lawsuit Against Bloomberg Stays in Georgia

The federal 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the $400 million libel suit filed against NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg will stay in Georgia. The Smyrna, GA gunshop Adventure Outdoors, filed a libel suit against Bloomberg after Bloomberg said Adventure Outdoors was a “rogue gun dealer” responsible for arming criminals in NYC.

Bloomberg wanted the lawsuit out of Georgia where his counsel believed they would have an easier time proving his immunity.  Bob Barr, representing Adventure Outdoors, was successful in convincing the 11th Circuit that the lawsuit should remain in Cobb County Superior Court, where it was originally filed.

Bloomberg used illegal methods to obtain dubious “proof” that Adventure Outdoors and other gun shops were regularly selling firearms in straw purchases.

As I stated in a previous article, I have purchased several firearms from Jay and his crew at Adventure Outdoors.  They are a class act with good prices and inventory.  I hope they get every penny from Bloomberg.
