Stop the discussion of intentionally violating TPC §30.06. It violates Rule 4.
Also, the topic is strict liability for certain businesses. Don't hijack the thread, start your own.

Re: Texas businesses that ban guns should be liable if unarmed patrons are hurt, Dallas senator says
Assumption of the risk as a legal doctrine has not existed in Texas in decades. It has been replaced by comparative negligence.OneGun wrote:The problem with this law is that if you choose to go into a business that makes you disarm, then you assume all of the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".NotRPB wrote:Texas businesses that ban guns should be liable if unarmed patrons are hurt, Dallas senator says
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics ... r-says.eceI think it's Patterned after the Tennessee lawAUSTIN — 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."

I agree with your overall concept, but I do not extend it to business property to the same extent as private property not used for commercial purposes. I have no problem with strict liability for businesses deny people the ability to protect themselves, but that will not pass in Texas.
