Let me understand...if there are CCW laws and the company bans weapons then it's the company that's liable for any murderous rampage? Hmm. What if the perp has a CC permit and he brings his loaded gun to the workplace and shoots people? Based on that logic, would not the company be liable for being negligent and allowing firearms in the business?

Or would you take the position that if a person is going to break the law with a gun, there's very little you or a security guard can do to stop him. He'll simply shoot the security guard first, right? In either case, I don't believe you can hold a business liable for someone else's actions.

If someone burns down a place, the company is liable if they bolted up the fire escapes and doors for any reason.

Same here.

It should be. At least partially liable for damages.

Not if you are the first victim, and have no warning that something is up. Otherwise, you could shoot the SOB and save yourself and any other would be victims.

I don't believe you can hold a business liable for someone else's actions.

You don't, you hold them liable for prohibiting you the means to protect yourself, if they are not willing to do so.
