I said punish them only if they put bans on worker safety when they have CCW laws. They should be as liable as if they had no fire exits/alarms and the place burns down. IMO, it’s basic negligence.

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.
