Good idea, but it won't work. State law requires kids to go to school, so imposing strict liability on schools is warranted. No one is required by law to enter any business establishment.

Chas.

Charles, you are assuming this just involves students. What if a teacher is killed because he/she was not armed? Or a janitor or food service person, or whatever? These people are not by state law required to attend. They are employees. So, and I have not looked at the proposed law, does this open the liability of an institution (or business) to liability by making it a GFZ?

Isn't this somewhat like making a store liable if they post a 30.06 and you are injured by a BG while you are unarmed in the store? Perhaps a precedence setter for Texas.
