I like the "It's better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by six" rule........
I thought I read something about something similar to this (Lowe's or Home Depot), whereby the argument was made that any "private" property which is actually open to the public in a commercial capacity would then take on the liability for any crimes committed upon those patrons that were forbidden to have the means to protect themselves there. The above mentioned business then rescinded the policy concerning concealed weapons on their properties.

Not sure if there was any legal precedent for the claim, but apparently the business in question felt that there was certainly the possibility for litigation resulting from that policy.
