The wet floor is a different issue, we don't possess an inherent ability to walk on wet floors. However, unless the business is physically restraining us, they've not changed our inherent ability to defend ourselves. We make the choice to accept the terms of entry, we aren't forced.Soccerdad1995 wrote:
If a business owner does something that makes it more likely you will suffer harm and then invites you to come on in, without taking any precautions to mitigate the dangerous situation they created, then you can sue them. That applies to all manner of situations and is not limited to just this case. For example, if I decide to clean my tile floors with an extra slippery wax, 5 minutes before I open for the day, then the person who slips and splits their head open may sue me. Just like my posting a sign that my business and customers are easy pickings for criminals and then not bothering to provide sufficient security. In both cases, the customer could have just stayed home, but they should still be able to sue me when my stupidity and lack of regard for the safety of my customers contributes to their death or injury.

Re: Tennessee Takes Leadership on Gun Free Zones
Whatever happened to taking personal responsibility for one's choices? Nobody forces us to do business with places that are posted. I mean why not open it up and let us sue everybody involved from the gun manufacturer on down to the gas station that provided the gas for the car the bad guy drove to the store in?
