Did anyone else catch that? I haven't had time to look for it. Might be interesting to see the liability level on that one since Target made a public statement about not allowing guns on premises....... :roll:
I don't think there is any additional liability.

Nothing in that article leads me to believe Target is subject to any additional legal liability because they've requested people to not bring their guns in. Are you suggesting otherwise?
I'm thinking the victims lawyer might make the argument that by publicizing their new firearms policy they have created an atmosphere where an armed criminal would feel he had an advantage over a citizen where it might not otherwise exist. We've seen lawyers in the past get away with more farfetched arguments....(ie: hot coffee at mickey d's?) I'm just doing a bit of "devils advocate" thinking here. :headscratch
Target could be liable IF they any one brings up the recent ruling about the Giants fan who suffered head injuries when he was beaten up even though it was in a parking lot.... Stadium has to pay the most while the other two has to pay some.... victim lawyers argued that the stadium didnt provide adequate security...

just mine opinion
