AUSTIN — Texas businesses that ask customers to disarm themselves will have to pay for injuries incurred in these gun-free zones if state Sen. Bob Hall has his way.

Hall, R-Edgewood, wants to propose a law that will make gun-free businesses liable for "any harm that befalls patrons as a result of being deprived of his or her weapon." The law, Hall says, would "encourage Texas businesses to do the right thing and allow their patrons to carry the firearms they have lawfully trained with for self-protection."

The problem with this law is that if you choose to go into a business that makes you disarm, then you assume all of the risks, etc. of your decision. You had the choice to not enter the business. If people took responsibility for their own actions instead of looking for someone to blame, we would not live in a strange world of "Safe Spaces" and people wanting to repeal the 1st Amendment because they saw a poster that said "TRUMP 2016".
