Here is what I have proposed regarding the public hazard of gun free zones. The concept of the mantle of protection under the roof of a host is documented as far back as the time of Abraham, and his nephew Lot, who when the 2 angles were guests in his home, refused to turn them over to the townsfolk, and according to some sources, even offered up one of his daughters to satisfy their twisted desires.
If the entity who is responsible for the venue, does nothing to protect those under their roof, and denies you the right to protect yourself under their roof, they have created a dangerous catch 22 where they have created a liability and should be held accountable for that.
Gun free zone liability act of 2013
Any building, entity, corporation, or venue(hereafter referred to as the venue), that posts a sign, or enacts a policy
forbidding employees, patrons, contractors, or guests, (hereafter referred to as visitor) from carrying the means for
lawful self defense on their persons or in their immediate control, is assuming upon itself the mantle of protection
for those persons, and assumes the responsibility for the safety of these persons from the time they leave their means
of conveyance, and complete their business at the prohibited venue, until they return unto their conveyance to leave
said venue.
The venue shall be deemed liable of creating a public hazard if the visitor comes to harm as a result from attack
from a criminal, or animal, and a jury finds that it reasonably could have been prevented, or mitigated by the use
of a defensive device. If the injured or deceased party is an employee, or contractor, they may be awarded by a court
of law an amount up to 30 times the annual salary of that person. If the injured or deceased party was a customer or
guest they shall be awarded an amount deemed reasonable by a jury.
The venue shall have qualified immunity if they chose to provide a secure environment, secure to mean
• Restricted points of access
• Metal detectors
• Armed security guards to ensure all pass through detectors
• Lockers to secure defensive devices, or security escorts available to escort visitors to & from their
vehicles, or,
• Secured parking with automated gates so persons will not be vulnerable while walking to or from vehicles.
The Venue shall have full immunity if they chose to let the visitor provide for their own security, and they may
set reasonable standards regarding the carry of defensive devices by employees& contractors, those standards being
• Requiring a valid carry permit issued by the state or other reciprocal state if travelling.
• Requiring the use of a quality holster so device does not fall out during normal activities
• Requiring the use of a lock box if device is not on the person or under the immediate control of the person
• Require some annual training from a NRA certified instructor, or equivalent.
• Require the use of a quality firearm or other device
• Require the use of quality ammunition, or chemicals, similar to that used by law enforcement agencies in
this state.
• Require that defensive device may only be produced, or used if there is a reasonable fear of death or
serious bodily harm to themselves or others.
• May dictate open or discrete carry.
• May require annual qualification equivalent to the standard in the Personal and family protection act.
• Shall not be held responsible for any actions by employees defending their own life, or the life of others.
No business, corporation, or entity may prohibit possessing the means of lawful self defense in the private means of
conveyance as a condition of employment. Violation of this shall be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $2500
and a term in jail of 6 months; this shall be enacted as 21-6117
Private property is greatly respected in the state of Kansas, however the right to life& the freedom to go to a
venue & return home unharmed takes precedent.
