Tennessee has right idea
Please read the UPDATE on Bearing Arms | UPDATED: Want a Gun-Free Zone? Tennessee Says That’s on You: LITERALLY. As noted in this UPDATE, TN SB1736/HB2033 states:


The original intent of the law was to make any person who posts their property as a gun-free zone liable for the safety of any handgun carry permit holder while the permit holder is on the posted premises as well as while during their travel to and from the premises and the location where the permit holder’s firearm is stored.

The enacted law provides immunity from civil liability to a person, business, or other entity that owns, controls, or manages property and has the authority to prohibit weapons on that property by positing, with respect to any claim based on the person's, business's, or other entity's failure to adopt such a policy.

So, instead of making posted zones liable, it makes non-posted zones not liable. Big difference.
 
You really need to read the law carefully. This is what the law is saying:

I enter a store that is NOT posted. I get shot in the store. I cannot sue the store for failure to prohibit firearms by posting the sign.

Exactly, that's why I am saying that there is a big difference between the original intent of the law and its final passed version. I believe the idea of the final law was to take away the argument made by insurance companies that simply prohibiting firearms by posting the sign will lower the owners liability.
