The companies Risk Management Department is also involved.
Risk=exposure to liability/loss/claims
Controlling risk controls loss/liability exposure/lawsuits and also lowers premium.
Guns = Risk/Exposure/loss/claims, thus the reason for the escort out of the building with a new gun.
Of course, the commercial liability policy does not have a “perp� clause/exclusion. Insurance companies do look at risk/exposure when considering issuing and rating a policy no matter what kind of a insurance policy.
Back to my original point- "The only reason why one cannot carry their new gun out of the store is liability exposure "while in the store". Insurance claims/lawsuits driven- period".
