Candace M. Johnson Case Summary

Decent Essays
Facts: In January 22, 2008 Candace M. Johnson purchased bullets from a Wal-Mart store in Illinois, without possessing a Firearm Owner’s Identification Card. The Wal-Mart sales clerk did not ask Candace to present her FOID card, which is required in order to posses ammunition or a firearm. By law Candace would not have been able to hold a FOID card after being part of a mental institution five years prior to her suicide. Candace used the bullets she purchased to commit suicide. Johnsons claims that the failure of the clerk to do her job properly caused his wife’s death and therefor he appeals the dismissal of the negligence and wrongful claims in the case of his wife Candace Johnson.

Issue: Whether or not Wal-Mart was negligent in training
