New Bill Would Allow Gun Permit Holders to Sue if Harmed after Being Banned from Legally Carrying
I do not agree with making the property owner responsible for actions of anyone over which they have no control.
The sign is posted. An unarmed compliant licensed carrier gets shot in the establishment. They sue the owner.
No sign is posted. A legal or illegal carrier unjustly shoots someone. The owner is sued.
The owner is somehow responsible in both cases?
The shooter is the one to be held accountable.
Around the country there have been proposals making business owners responsible for the actions of shooters.
Some would hold them responsible if they post and someone is shot.
Others would hold them responsible if they do not post and someone is shot.
Sign or no sign, how can they control the action of those in the store, whether it is a robber or legal CCer who mistakenly shots someone?
If a truck crashes through the door, the store is not responsible for injuries to the customers.
To be clear I think posting is a waste of time and does not improve safety, but they owner has a right to do it.
Decide on your own if you will honor it, ignore it, or go to another store.
Do I waste time really breathing this much into it? Not at all because I’m still a believer of concealed means concealed.
......but you still have to take responsibility for the potential consequences.
