Over the past several years, legislation nationwide has made it much easier for people to legally carry a concealed handgun. As a result, there are now over 17 million concealed carry permit holders across the country. Possibly as a result of this trend toward loosening concealed carry restrictions, some states have begun legislating liability protections for premises and/or business owners with respect to firearms injuries which occur on their premises. This presentation will discuss this emerging area of law and both the positives and negatives for businesses in states that have these laws.
