Wish list for 2009

After reading umpteen different threads about 30.06 signs (valid and not) I've decided that my wish list for the up-coming legislative session would include a new bill. A bill that would make businesses be required to prove that they can provide security measures to protect every person on their property before attempting to post 30.06 signage.
Those measures would include metal detectors at all entrances, staffed by armed security or police only. Otherwise they would be welcome to put up signs that say " the unlicenced possession of a weapon.." all day long.
As I don't believe that any person or entity other than the State of Texas (they issued the permit) has the right to dis-arm a license holder simply because they are frightened of guns, I see this proposed legislation as a compromise. It would give the opportunity for businesses to be un-armed victim zones if they so desire but would squarely place all liability on them for creating such zones. They just might realize that the only people that they are forcing to be un-armed are the lawful and not the criminals.
I know, I know... keep on dreaming.
