A Fascinating Bill in CO

[DrMike]

I note that a GOP legislator in Colorado plans to introduce a bill that would require business owners to allow concealed carry permit holders to carry on their premises or else provide one security officer for every fifty customers. Fascinating approach to self-protection.

It may not have much chance of being enacted because of Democrat control of both houses, but it does make the debate more interesting in that state.

I wonder if there's a viable case for suing a business that restricts your right to carry, should something happen to you while on their premises? I suspect there is. I usually do not advocate lawsuits, but in reality, it's time to reverse the tables on those who would usurp our rights and put us in danger. Let a couple of "no carry" businesses get sued because someone gets held up or some other violent crime takes place, and all of a sudden you'll see businesses change their tune. Insurance actuaries will shift, and that will drive the decision.

Thats a good approach WM.
Start suing the schools, movie theaters, and dinners in gun free zones.

I should think a strong case can be advanced for responsibility for security of the patrons of "gun free zones."

Geez guys, let's not talk sense and a form of gov't at the same time, it unfathomable

That kind of law would have stopped James Holmes from shooting up that movie theater. I think it has a shot in Colorado too.

I am thinking the same thing.
