IANAL, so I am not a legal expert. Such a suit is possible in that a person could file such a lawsuit. Whether or not it is viable or winnable is the real question. My opinion is that if it is based solely on not being allowed to carry the suit would fail. If the party can prove that the owner knew or should have known that their business was not safe and they failed to provide for the safety of their customers they could win. But that is not breaking any new legal ground. IMO, a suit based entirely on 30.06 restrictions is wishful thinking on the part of some CHL/RBKA advocates. I would be glad to hear the opinion of some legal experts.
