Gun free signage has never saved a life, but under Tennessee SB 1736, law abiding citizens are forced to lay down their weapons before entering “gun free” businesses.
Tennessee businesses now have a right to hang a gun-free sign in their windows and disarm law abiding conceal and carry permit holders from entering their business armed, however that is the only benefit they receive from SB 1736, for under this new legislation the business assumes all liability for any injuries that occur on the “posted premises” should a concealed permit holder get injured in an emergency.
Should an injury happen to a concealed permit holder while he or she is running from the business to their car in the midst of an emergency, the business is wholly liable.
Businesses who choose to post “Thou Shalt Not Carry a Gun on the Premises” will bear the responsibility for the many lives they potentially place in harms way due to their political leanings. Relying upon law enforcement with guns to arrive during an emergency may be too late. This may be the business owners right, but those who could have literally saved the day by being allowed to carry their weapon can now hold the business liable should tragedy strike.

You know what? Your business is on American soil and my 2nd amendment is above it. Some day that amendment will save your life.
Not possible. Try again. Oh, get Killary as guard.
..it sound like they want no guns in public places so that you will be an easy victim for those who see that sign,
…kinda feels like they just opened “duck season” in Tennessee.
So a person who is not law abiding comes in with gun kills maybe 10 or more because there is no one there to stop him. That’s smart.
Don’t shop there let them go out of business
