New York’s public advocate is pushing regulators to investigate the gun maker Sturm, Ruger & Company’s disclosures to investors about the risks it faces.

In a letter sent on Tuesday to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Letitia James, the city’s public advocate, said that Sturm, Ruger, the Southport, Conn., maker of rifles, pistols and revolvers, had misled investors about who used its products and had not adequately disclosed the reputational and liability risks it faced.

More and more, shareholder activists are questioning whether the gun companies and the retailers that sell their products adequately represent their reputational risks to shareholders, calling their lack of disclosure of these risks a violation of S.E.C. rules.

Councilwoman Letitia James has filed a personal injury suit against an itinerant laborer after she allegedly injured herself walking into his legally parked truck.

The Democratic lawmaker, who makes $122,500 a year as the people’s representative in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, is seeking an unspecified amount of damages for wounds she claims to have sustained on July 11 when she walked into a four-inch trailer hitch protruding from David Day’s parked car.

James sustained “serious, severe and permanent [injuries] to her limbs and body” and “she will be caused to suffer … continuous pain and inconvenie­nce,” according to court papers filed last month in Brooklyn Supreme Court by James’s attorney Robert Mijuca of the powerful law firm of Rubenstein and Rynecki.

Sturm, Ruger is vulnerable to additional public scrutiny, litigation and regulatory attention, all things potential investors would want to know, she said.

I should have sued myself for parking my car in the garage with the hitch attached.

I've done that with my truck, too. Damn near exhausted my supply of expletives over that one. Some idiot left it on overnight.

Anytime I see a work truck backed into a spot at a hotel I'm staying at and realize that it can take my shin out, I want to yank it off the truck and throw it through the back window.
