AFAIK we are free to sue anyone about anything at any time already. If I am attacked in public, whereever that might be (store, parking lot, you-name-it) I am gonna go after the owner, and if they have "no guns" signs that's all to the better.
AFAIK you can not sue anyone about anything.

This bill actually amends a previous law that limits the liability of persons posting the signs. http://www.tn.gov/sos/acts/108/pub/pc0016.pdf

Here is the proposed bill http://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/109/Bill/SB1736.pdf

After further reading, it appears that the original law is Tennessee's version of "The Parking Lot" law so it would only apply to those signs.
