Re: Talking to management

I thought maybe a lawyer would have better information than what I am about to type.

I am not aware of any uniform trend regarding workplace shootings. When the victims sue the property owner, they sometimes win and sometimes lose.

You can look at Wal-Mart, which is noteworthy for the following reasons: They get sued a lot for crimes committed on their property, they always defend lawsuits (i.e., they don't settle out of court), and they do not prohibit firearms. Sometimes they prevail, and sometimes they lose. it depends upon the facts of the case, the skill of the attorneys, and the jury.

I doubt anyone can point to a case where a no-weapons policy was a determining factor in relieving the property owner of liability.
