[QUOTE="Aries, post: 3333751, member: 44328"] You are correct that anyone can enter the business, but that also means that the youtube guys that we all love to make fun of because they obviously know nothing about handling firearms safely, can enter as well. Which is the bigger threat, a criminal with a gun or an idiot with a gun? Who gets to decide? It is THEIR property. You can decide on YOUR property. You are also correct that it is possible they MAY be held responsible depending on various factors (probably not just because they had a no gun sign). So if there's an incident, sue them. You *might* win, but I seriously would expect their attorney to point out that you voluntarily entered their property knowing their conditions. The real question is do they have a right to decide if they want to allow guns on their own property. You say it makes the environment less safe, but that doesn't make it true. Their intention is probably to make it more safe, and they think keeping the John Rambo types out is a better idea. Who is more likely right? I think you are, but it's their property so they should have a right to decide. [/QUOTE]
