A gun dealer from Ohio should face litigation from a Buffalo man shot by one of his guns because he knew the firearm could be trafficked into New York for resale, attorneys for the victim argued before the state Court of Appeals on Wednesday.

Some justices on the state’s highest court, however, were skeptical that state law would allow the dealer to face civil litigation in New York over the victim’s injuries since he didn’t definitively know the gun sale would result in the shooting.
