There have been successful lawsuits against carnivals and theme parks in which people chose to ride the rides that cause them injuries....and remember the McDonalds hot coffee judgements.twomillenium wrote:Jusme wrote:AJSully421 wrote:Sure, right now... but if the law changes, and now says that you are liable if you post signs... then you are liable if you post signs.Beiruty wrote:Would not fly as the business is not liable for 3rd parties destructive acts.
Liability insurance rates would go up for any location that posted signs, because it would result in greater potential risk of loss to the insurance company... so signs would come down at all but the most venomously anti-gun places.
It becomes a slippery slope due to the fact that the left wants to do the same thing to gun manufacturers. The only way I could see something like this working were if it was a location that a person must enter by law, but those would usually be government facilities. If a person has a choice not to enter a posted business, then it would be hard to hold them liable for someone else's actions. So far I have not run across a 30.06 posted business, that I don't have another option as to where to take my business.
What I think would be a better option would be as a discrimination issue whereby someone with an LTC, was being discriminated against, just like a licensed beautician would not be allowed to carry scissors, or a chef not being able to carry their knife. Either of those things could be used as a defensive weapon and they would obviously be trained to use them, so why only licensed handgun carriers?JMHOOne has a choice.
The point is you can sue for almost anything & let the legal process determine liability.
