(CNSNews.com) - A widow is suing the distributor of the gun, which a Florida teenager used to kill her husband. Wire reports say the widow, Pam Grunow, alleges the .25-caliber Raven pistol is unreasonably dangerous, and the lawsuit notes it lacked a trigger lock that might have prevented a 13-year-old boy from firing it at his teacher.

(Nathaniel Brazill was 13 in May 2002 when he shot and killed his teacher, Barry Grunow, at Lake Worth Middle School in Florida.) Valor Corp., the company that distributes the gun, says the weapon worked exactly as it was supposed to. "With any gun, if you pull the trigger, it will go off," wire reports quoted Valor attorney John Renzulli as saying.

The lawsuit is described as an effort to get cheap guns off the streets. Grunow's attorneys are targeting the pistol's relatively inexpensive price tag, which, they say, makes the pistol attractive to criminals and juveniles.
