Have you seen this already? TN SB 1736
This law makes businesses who have a gun free zone to be liable for any harm, death, etc that comes to a conceal carry permit holder on their property. It's worth googling. Hope this isn't old news.
Well apparently after further reading the bill passed HOWEVER the politicians added a single amendment that scrubs the whole thing. The govt ruins everything. Again.
If I read this correctly...if you owned a business,say a bar,and somebody got shot,would you want to be held liable. Sounds like a wise decision to drop it so it doesn't become law.
I try to avoid gun free zones unless there is a logical reason that the premises be gun free. I don't carry in court or a prison facility because it would be a violation of the law and the restrictions of my concealed carry permit, as well as being a logical prohibition. As for private gun free zones, I either avoid them or ignore the signs. If I should print, I will leave if asked and avoid the premises thereafter. I am not going to allow some idiot proprietor to decide for me that I don't have the right to defend myself from evil. Frankly, I have no problem with the idiot proprietor of his gun free zone being held liable for damages to a person otherwise entitled to carry who is foolish enough to OBEY the sign and is harmed by a purp during the commission of a crime.
I don't understand why businesses can't have a sign right to carry or not carry and with a person knowingly patronizing the business the owner should be exempt. That's probably way to easy though we as a society need the right to be told what we can and cant do and also the right to sue the crap out of somebody . Lol...
