What Liability does a business have if they post a No CC poster?

[Palmettokat]

I have heard it argued a business that does not allow CC is opening themselves up to being liable is a person who is so licensed were to be robbed or killed or such due to not having the right to carry and thus the right to protect themselves if they were to be robbed or killed while there.

I wonder if that is really true for you also have the right not to visit there. Does anyone know if that is true and if so has there been a case of this?

Is there any other harm such a business may face other than certain customers stop using them?



Know a tractor dealership (JD if it matters) in our state with no CC posted. Reason made little sense to me but Sheriff office in their county told them only way to enforce this crazy person from keep showing his cc weapon when there. I believe when he showed his weapon just to show off he broke the law but that is just my thought.

Absolutely none! The libtard sob's will say that if you didn't feel safe in their store you should have went somewhere else and it's YOUR own fault. About whatever happened, that is.

I was going to attempt to answer this, but there are so many variables. In some states 'no guns' signs have force of law, in others they don't which could or could not mean anything for one.

It makes me think of the 'tell us if you see anything suspicious' statement from the fbi or who ever put it out there. In today's political climate you're likely to get sued for racial profiling by the aclu, the person you snitched on's family, or some friend of the whitehouse if you do.

In my personal opinion the store wouldn't bear any responsibility. But if you hire a good lawyer, or get the aclu to sue for you who knows.

Anyway, in a sane world, . The responsible party would be the bad guy who shot you and not the store owner.

That store has all the liability in the world. When things go down, they'll have the blood of the innocent on their hands and will have to answer to the law, the government's and mine.

Regardless, the sign holds no sway over me. I'll enter with my guns, and will face the consequences like a warrior.

Shouldn't you be checking on your precious expansion of Federal government regulation (aka nationwide reciprocity) bills? Of course I know you are ignoring me, but it will be hilarious to see if you respond anyway.... :laugh:

So replies the little princess. So tell me princess, how much combat have you seen? What could you possibly know of being a warrior? And no, playing with your G.I. Joes in the bathtub doesn't count.

Howdy WD,

Now that's funny!!

The business has the same liability as one that doesn't post a sign.

A business is NOT responsible for the unlawful acts of another.

If I shoot you in a business, you can't get anything from them no matter if they have a sign or not, no matter if they allow people/employees to carry or not.

The shooter is responsible.

I had lunch today with an attorney who also teaches CWP classes. What I left with was if the owner had reason to know there was a danger then he "might" have liability.

It's hard to tell which he's worse at then, being a lawyer or a CWP instructor. Sounds pretty much like a toss-up to me.

In a sane world the business would not be liable but then we have a bunch of lib-o-rats who want to be able to sue the gun manufacturer if you get shot by their gun.

This effort is being talked about by the hildebeast and others!!!!

How much liability does the business that doesn't post have? If you were in a situation armed, but due to the criminals having an advantage for any reason, do you hold the business responsible?
Whether you are armed or not, if you are aware, you should be able to either engage or bail, best defense for me is never having to use my weapon. I guess I am lucky, I rarely go where I can't carry, so doesn't matter.

Vote with your wallet. I came to a free state, where I can carry as I please. When I see a "NO CC" sign, I

go right to the next store in line without any restriction on my rights. I spend my money where I get treated right.

My dollars are my ballots. I vote a lot...

One time I walked into a business with my guns, the manager told me I had to leave. When asked why, he pointed toward the 'no weapons allowed' sign. I proceeded to draw my shotgun and obliterate the sign. The problem was solved.

Well, any kind of gun free zone is a public hazard, so if the owner hasn't been issued a temporary permit to hold the gun free zone then they're probably "personally liable".

My thoughts exactly!

The charge for carrying in a marked No Carry establishment is trespassing. In my state that is a misdemeanor. the technicalities are that if you are "caught" trespassing while carrying, the establishment MUST ask you to leave. Only if you then refuse can you be charged with trespassing. So I usually go ahead and carry, make sure that concealed means CONCEALED, and so far, 15+ years I have never had a problem. I am one of the good guys, I would guess you are too!
