I agree, if you're forced to go on property where it's illegal for you to carry, then the owner of the property should assume liability.

However, you're not forced to work at any particular place, nor are you forced to frequent any particular business. So I guess the only place that would assume liability under such a law would be a city or county who called you to jury duty, forcing you to enter a court unarmed.

There's a number of states where unlicensed open carry is legal, and a number where unlicensed concealed carry is also legal. None of those states have had any major problems. Show some stats to back up your feelings if you think you're correct.

Or do you think that the character of Texans is markedly inferior to those of residents of other states?
