I imagine that if I freely GAVE or lent a pistol to any Tom, Dick or Harry and then it was used - then I have some responsibility.But it was taken from me in a crime itself.
People get sued all the time for owning dogs that attack trespassers on their own property. It just depends on what the law deems the reasonable minimum amount of precaution that a dog owner should take to warn people about the dog.

Likewise, you are still responsible for your gun. Not sure why people think they are so responsible for their own protection and not as equally responsible for the means that they use for the level of protection they seek.
