Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Gun counter chatter
So yesterday I was at Gander Mountain and over heard one of the gon counter guys talking to a customer about trigger pull weight and the gun store employee said that "by law" the lowest trigger weight that can be sold is 3 1/2lbs. I assume this is on a factory firearm.
Any truth to this? I have never heard this before but am curious about it.

Maybe from the mfg. Those pesky lawyers got gun mfg nuts in a vice.

I have never heard that either... I could see it being true though
I doubt it is a law but more likely a policy for manufacturers. I have a CZ that has a set trigger that is way lower than 3.5 lbs.

NOT a law at all. May be policy of some manufacturers, but certainly not all.
It's not the law, it's just not smart to have your carry gun set to less than 3.5lbs. Lawyers are assholes and love to draw a line showing the connection between you desperate to shoot someone and the low amount of force required to discharge the round.
I personally don't mind a 5lbs pull, but like it to be 4lbs. Personal preference, obviously.
i have not seen one case of anyone charged for having too light of a trigger
personally have a 3# trigger in my glock
Oh, I know you won't get charged for having a light trigger pull since it's not technically a crime, it's just not worth the hassle of dealing with that aspect of a law suit, especially this day in age.
Should mandate 15 lbs so limp-wristed liberals would be unable to participate in more mass-shootings.
