Georgia Bill Makes Property Owners Liable for Injuries in Gun-Free Zones<\/a><\/p>\n

Georgia House Bill 1364 makes property owners liable if a legal concealed carrier is harmed while barred from being armed for self-defense on the owner\u2019s property.<\/p>\n

HB 1364 says, \u201cAny lawful weapons carrier who is prohibited from carrying\u2026 and who is injured\u2026 shall have a cause of action against the person, business or other entity that owns or legally controls such property,\u201d\u00a0according<\/a> to 11 Alive.<\/p>\n

The bill is sponsored by State Rep. Martin Momtahan (R).<\/p>\n

Momtahan explained his motivation for introducing the legislation.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cAll we want to make sure is, if you\u2019re in the store or anywhere and it has a \u2018no gun\u2019 sign, then that store needs to understand they have absolute custodial care of that person [who\u2019s denied the ability to be armed].\u201d<\/p>\n

The text of HB 1364\u00a0clarifies<\/a>\u00a0that any posting that bars legal gun owners from being armed for self-defense must be accompanied by signage that makes clear the land owner understands his custodial duties:<\/p>\n

Any public notice posted on a property that includes language which provides that weapons are prohibited on such property shall also contain language citing this Code section and providing that any lawful weapons carrier who is prohibited from carrying\u00a0his or her weapon, including a concealed weapon, while on such property shall be under the absolute custodial care of the person, business, or other entity that owns or legally controls such property.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
