I agree. You'd almost have to prove that the business knew that by posting the sign they would expose their customers to increased liability. The problem with the argument of negligence is that — as illogical as it seems — businesses actually believe that they are making things safer for everyone by banning your gun. In other words, they believe that admitting your gun to their premises would make things more dangerous. So they are taking a "positive" action in the name of "safety"......and I think you'd have a very hard time proving negligence in that light. For you to prevail, they would have to post a 2nd sign next to the 30.06 sign, reading:Taypo wrote:I'm sure that the current method (suing the everloving crap out of them for insufficient security) is going to continue to be the norm. They have a right to post and we aren't forced to enter the business, so I don't think that a 30.06 posting is ever going to be used as a "gotcha!" moment for a court case.
The combination of those two signs might give you a chance in court......but not the 30.06 sign by itself. However, keep in mind that, come January 1st, if they post a 30.06 sign, you can just uncover your gun and open carry.2nd Sign wrote:As you can see from the other sign, we have forced all of our customers to disarm before entering.....at least....we have forced all people carrying a handgun legally to disarm. So if you are a criminal, come on in and bring your gun with you. It's easy pickin's up in here.
