My question to all of the restuarant owners that have banned HCP holders from carrying in their establishments is simly this:
In the event that your business establishment is robbed and I am in some way injured by this robbery (ie physical harm or monatary loss, will your business cover my losses with either replacement money to cover what was taken or the payment of any and all medical bills incurred as a result of this robbery?
If the answer is no then I must make arrangements for my own defense which may or may not include my legally carried weapon, even in your establishment (which is open to the public and therefore not covered by the same laws as a residence would be).
If the answer is yes, then I would like to see what measures you have taken for that security or the insurance policy that you took out to cover what could be potentially millions of dollars of medical bills.
Your workers are covered by workers compensation insurance, your money is covered by robbery insurance, what about your customers? What are they covered by? They would have to sue you in civil court in order to recover their losses, yet it should be that you would be REQUIRED by law to cover the customers losses if you ban HCP holders.
