Why doesn't TX have this?

Post by Furyataurus »

This is what Ohio has on its law books. Why doesn't TX have this. IMO, this would be a great idea.

2923.126 Duties of Licensed individual
(2)(a) A private employer shall be immune from liability in a civil action for any injury, death, or loss to person or property that allegedly was caused by or related to a licensee bringing a handgun onto the premises or property of the private employer, including motor vehicles owned by the private employer, unless the private employer acted with malicious purpose. A private employer is immune from liability in a civil action for any injury, death, or loss to person or property that allegedly was caused by or related to the private employer’s decision to permit a licensee to bring, or prohibit a licensee from bringing, a handgun onto the premises or property of the private employer. As used in this division, “private employer” includes a private college, university, or other institution of higher education.

I could see this being enacted if a parking lot bill is passed, but until that time I don't see what benefit it would have for us.

I would imagine something like that will be the sweetener in a successful parking lot bill in Texas.

I think it would be better for Texas to have 30.06 explicitly say the law does not offer immunity from liability in a civil action for any injury, death, or loss to person or property that allegedly was caused by restricting the right to carry.
We're here. With gear. Get used to it.

I'd be for it if they struck "or prohibit a licensee from bringing," from it.
