WI: GOP lawmaker plans bill holding gun-free businesses liable for firearm injuries

A Republican state lawmaker said he plans to introduce a bill that would hold gun-free zone businesses legally liable for injuries inflicted by weapons banned on their property.

Rep. Bob Gannon, R-Slinger, who has been an outspoken critic of gun-free zones, said the bill gives citizens a better chance of defending themselves and their loved ones.

"When we have 49 deaths and 50-some injuries in Orlando, to think that we could not have saved one life there is silly," he said.

Under current law, businesses that allow concealed carry are not held liable for injuries inflicted by weapons legally carried onto their premises. Gannon's proposal would add that gun-free businesses would be held liable.

We need this on the federal level.

Or how about a bill that prohibits victim disarmament zones. This already exists in some states.

Pennsylvania for example only prohibits firearms in kindergarten through 12th grade schools, court houses, and prisons. There are no laws prohibiting concealed carry in malls, bars, banks, or other businesses.

I'm presuming that "weapons legally carried onto their premises" should read "weapons illegally carried onto their premises".

But since this is a liberal hit piece and liberals are famous for using confusing references to advance their causes, one never knows.
