"Any person or entity authorized to post property pursuant to § 39-17-1359 who elects, pursuant to that authority, to prohibit the possession of firearms by a person authorized to carry a handgun pursuant to § 39-17-1351, thereby assumes absolute custodial responsibility for the safety and defense of the permit holder while on the posted property and while on any property the permit holder is required to traverse in order to travel to and from the location where the permit holder's firearm is stored." link
I think that's fair, don't you?

Fair in what way, exactly? If you don't want me to defend myself in your establishment then you sure as hell better be defending me. Someone will be defending me and ensuring my safety. Defenseless is not an option.

I think that people that have such anxiety that they need a law like that one are suffering from something akin to agoraphobia. They should have all their groceries delivered and call it a day.

I think it is stupid as hell. Why?Because it is assinine to assign guilt and/or responsibility to an entity like that. You don't want all gun owners to be assigned guilt or responsibility due to someone using a gun illegally. Why should an enstablishment have responsibility in someone using a gun illegally? I don't think you can have it both ways. The establishment is not responsible for what is an illegal act. The person who committed the act is responsible.

In essence it is saying that if you don't want me to protect myself in your business, then you should protect me. To demand that patrons be defenseless is not acceptable, that's why this act is going to be in place. I think this act is more than fair.

The person who committed the act is responsible. They have to take responsibility for their action in putting the sign up and disallowing patrons the option to protect themselves. The establishment is then responsible for the safety of patrons.

No.
We have the right to arms. We have the right to be free of arms in our own privately owned business.
You don't like my business choices. Don't shop there.

Stupid, badly written bill.
So if a licensed carry forgets his weapon, and something happens,he could essentially make a claim against the person or entity.
Stupid.

I thought that guns didn't kill people, but people killed people. So how could the responsibility be shifted from anyone but the killer him or herself regardless of the weapon he or she used? Unless you think that guns actually do kill people. And then well...
ETA: the establishment owners are not prohibiting anyone from defending themselves in a situation, just from using guns in their private businesses. There are many ways to defend yourself in a situation.

And the legislators who wrote and voted for this bill should be held financially responsible for all the legal costs incurred in getting it struck down.

I would say it is reality, not anxiety. Things can happen anywhere.I have lived in big cities all my life. Life is too short to cower. I've been through New York City's near bankruptcy, 2000+ annual murders, Miami and Washington, D.C. at similar times and now I live in Los Angeles. Both of my brothers and my father lived in Manhattan on 9/11. Things CAN happen anywhere, but in REALITY they don't. Being armed to the teeth and legislating custodial responsibility can only go so far. If you feel unsafe in a gun free business then lobby your shooting range to carry groceries and lattes while I risk going unarmed to Starbucks in my 'hood. SaveSaveSaveSave

It's a great feeling that we can have our guns if we choose to have them but we don't feel this nagging fear that we'd have to worry about bringing a gun everywhere for protection, nor do we have to make laws that makes establishments carry fire Arms to defend us. It's a freeing feeling. I really have a hard time wrapping my head around such fear that many Americans such as Rainbow feel.
And yes, it's a culture based in fear or you'd be wandering about without a concealed firearm.

It is no one's fault but the person committing the crime. This act shows that the establishment has a responsibility for your safety and security if they deny you the ability to do it yourself. I think that's fair. Saying "you can't protect yourself and I'm not going to either" is not gonna work.
