One restaurant chain owner had employees at his four northern Virginia shops post signs last week prohibiting firearms and declaring themselves a "safe zone."

Hey Mulder, do you think any FReeper lawyers out there could tell us if by posting this sign the proprietor purports his establishment to be "safe" and if it proves not to be, would the prop be civilily liable?

It varies from state. In Utah, they tried to pass a law this year that said any place that banned carry could be held civilly liable. I don't know if it passed or not.

In other states, I think you would have a very strong civil case. Based on them making a fraudulent claim, if nothing else.
