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?

It should be. At least partially liable for damages.

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.

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.

I imagine that if an employee wants to be armed at work and his prospective employer says no guns, then it's the person's perogative to not take the job. Knowing that going into the job probably eliminates any liability on their part.

Btw, I don't have a conceal permit but I am always hoping someone around me does when I'm out and about. So here's my "thank you" to those of you who are legally packing!
