http://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB1736&ga=109
Signed by the governor (gasp) on 27 Apr, effective date 1 July 2016. Present law authorizes persons in control of property to post a notice that prohibits firearms on the premises. This bill imposes a duty of care on any person who posts their property to prohibit firearms whereby such person will be responsible for the safety of any handgun carry permit holder while the permit holder is on the posted premises and traversing any area to and from the premises and the location where the permit holder's firearm is stored. The duty of care created by this bill will extend to the conduct of other invitees, trespassers, employees of the person or entity, vicious animals, wild animals, and defensible man-made and natural hazards.
This bill creates a cause of action whereby any permit holder who is harmed while on posted premises or traversing any area to and from the premises and the location where the permit holder's firearm is stored may bring suit against the person who posted the property. View Quote The amendment they cite in the link above is a lot of lawyer-speak, but it sounds like it makes the original bill useless. Hopefully somebody can clarify, otherwise, this is a great thing. |

Not real fond of giving up property rights. I'd rather let the market decide how we treat people that ban carry than making the government do it for us.

Weapons - As enacted, provides immunity from civil liability to a person, business, or other entity that owns, controls, or manages property and has the authority to prohibit weapons on that property by positing, with respect to any claim based on the person's, business's, or other entity's failure to adopt such a policy. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13.
This actually limits liability of the business who posts prohibited signs. This is NOT what OP was saying. This is bill in link. Confused..... ![]() ETA: Ok, there are two different bills on that link. |

Bill seems very broad. What constitutes as "responsible for safety"
We installed a house phone available to guests to dial 911 in case of emergency? We are required to have a 24 hour staff of no less then 5 armed guards per 8 hour shift? |

So you can sue the property owner after you and your family get shot? Uhhhh.....
Nullifying the "force of law" that the NO GUNS signs have would be far preferable. |

I don't know of any successful boycotts of businesses by gun owners. *shrugs* If a person gets sick on tainted meat from a grocery store due to negligence and improper labeling, they can be sued. The gov doesn't do anything. It's between the sick person and the store. I don't see much of a difference, but am willing to listen. |

I'm all about voting with my wallet.
But if pro gun people don't start using the system to further our agenda we will lose our rights. You can be as libertarian as you want to be, but please understand the other side will use big gov against you in a heartbeat. |

I've always felt that if you deny somebody the right of defense on your property (ie, "Gun Free Zone") then you as the property owner take FULL responsibility for their safety and well-being
in case of some event that could cause death or serious bodily injury. Don't hire enough cops/off-duty cops to protect your patrons? Your ass should be pay. Hell, it should almost be criminal. |

Not gun related but Michigan defines the difference between private property, public property and property that serves the public. For example you home is private. There is generally no one allowed. Public is government owned. Serving the public is a store/business that allows public the come and go. You are already bound by safety rules and such.
So even though you own the property, if you serve the public it's no longer private. |

From the Tennessee Firearms Assoc. Facebook on Monday:
WARNING!!!!
There are posts all over FB tonight about SB1736 going into effect this week. That bill, as introduced, would have made a business owner liable if they banned permit holders from carrying on their property. That bill was gutted and rewritten to remove the provisions making the property owners liable for disarming lawful gun owners. The "crap" that was substituted (with Sen. Brian Kelsey's name on it) is in the following language that did pass: SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 13, is amended by adding the following as a new section: (a) A person, business, or other entity that owns, controls, or manages property and has the authority to prohibit weapons on that property by posting, pursuant to§ 39-17-1359, shall be immune from civil liability with respect to any claim based on such person's, business's, or other entity's failure to adopt a policy that prohibits weapons on the property by posting pursuant to§ 39-17-1359. (b) Immunity under this subsection (a) does not apply to a person, business, or other entity whose conduct or failure to act is the result of gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. http://share.tn.gov/sos/acts/109/pub/pc0947.pdf Once again, Tennesseans have been deceived and cheated by Establishment Republicans in public office... starting with Brian Kelsey and aided by Sen. Dolores Gresham who apparently accepted the amendment and let it be carried in her name. View Quote |
