Duncan s mother, Gail Duncan, filed a lawsuit against Total Firearms in September, claiming the store irresponsibly and unlawfully allowed Olin to rent the gun, leading to her daughter s death.
In exchange for the lawsuit being dismissed, Total Firearms agreed to implement several reforms, including added training for employees and suicide and mental health screenings, Gail Duncan s attorney, Erin Davis, said. It s a commitment from them that they don t want this to ever happen again, Davis said.
A message left for the owners of Total Firearms on Tuesday was not returned.
Gun reforms as part of settlement
These reforms come with a powerful public statement from Total Firearms, Davis said. It outlines their new training, screening and reporting reforms and what to expect from the store.
