It would seem that somebody would have already tested the waters regarding injury sustained because a business deprived individuals of a publicly available remedy- the means of self defense and neglected to provide an adequate substitute=effective security? So far, the only information available is the insistence of Internet Experts that no such case has been Won, the implication that no such case has ever even been filed and therefore never will be.
With Fundraiser /Activists harassing corporations to forbid licensed carry, it might be advisable to photographically document the presence of 30:06 signs immediately after a high profile shooting event to establish that the signs were present when the event took place- in case the concern removes the signs later to avoid potential liability or unwanted media coverage.
I don't see how anyone could sue and win. If someone makes a choice to enter the establishment knowing full well they weren't allowed to carry, I don't see them wining a lawsuit. People have choices on where they do business, don't like the ban shop somewhere where you can protect yourself. It's pretty simple. Disarm and you take a chance but I don't think the shop owner assumes liability for someone who knows the law and enters anyway.
