Co-sponsored by 2 more representatives, districts 36 and 110 which have about 40,000 voters in each.Sorry to piss on the parade but, this is a house proposal by a guy representing a city of 5k people...it'll likely die without vote.
I very much hope so. You might call me a pessimist by nature.Co-sponsored by 2 more representatives, districts 36 and 110 which have about 40,000 voters in each.

A Republican state representative has introduced legislation that would hold government offices and private businesses liable if anyone is injured during a shooting in a gun-free zone on their premises.
State Rep. Gary Eisen, R-St. Clair Township, introduced House Bill 4975, which would revoke governmental immunity from lawsuits arising from injuries sustained on government property where guns are banned. Eisen is also the sponsor of House Bill 4976, which would make a government, business or individual that designates a property a gun-free zone responsible for the safety of individuals who enter it.
Eisen said the intention was to require a business or government that enforces a gun-free policy to take responsibility through measures like hiring security guards.
"I have to presume that no one will have a gun inside and I will be safe," Eisen said. "They are telling me, 'Don't worry, Mr. Eisen, this is a gun-free zone. You'll be perfectly safe in here.' We know that is not the case."
Eisen said by not allowing him to carry a gun, government and companies that declare their property a gun-free zone could be held liable under his bills.
