Texas businesses that ban guns should be liable

[RamRoddoc]

First TN (but the bill was gutted) and now Texas is talking about a measure of liability incurred if businesses decide to disarm those legally permitted to carry....

If you slip on a wet mopped business floor no liberal says well you didn't have to shop there.

"Businesses that establish themselves as 'gun-free' provide a guaranteed path of least resistance for terrorists and psychopathic murderers by ensuring that all of the law-abiding patrons in their establishment," Hall said, "including those licensed to carry a firearm, have surrendered their right of self-defense at the door."

And therein lies the issue.

They are liable and I hope the governments of ALL the states adopt similar legislation. Of course I doubt it will happen

Excellent. I'm in TX now and there's 30.07 and 30.06 signage everywhere. It is absurd as criminals do not obey laws by definition.

And government buildings should not be excluded.

If I go to the courthouse or the Post office, they should be held responsible for my safety. It's not like you can choose not to go to either.

Not a bad idea

It is a degradation of private property rights. That is a very bad thing.

No one would love more than me to see a succession of carry prohibitions by businesses but this way is not congruent with liberty.

Understood, but the way it works in TX is effed up. In GA the owner can post a sign and I can walk right past it, right? If they find out I'm CC'ing then they give me the boot if they want, and that's fair enough. In TX if they post 30.07 and you enter open carrying, or 30.06 and you enter conceal carrying, your ass will get snatched up and it's off to jail, no opportunity to explain anything. Many of the 30.07 and 30.06 signs I've seen are not even 'conspicuous' in my judgment. You see the beef people have with this, right? I feel that GA is the correct approach.
