I almost posted this in the Yellowstone thread but felt it was too much of a hijack, so I'll create a new thread here.
Doing my very best not to get too political ... really thinking more legal here ... the Yellowstone gun posts have me wondering ...
At least in the U.S., with the recent Supreme Court rulings that a person has a natural right to be able to defend themselves (as in bear arms) it makes me wonder if an "organization" prohibits someone from having a gun while on that organization's property means that the organization now has an inherent responsibility to protect you (since you can't protect yourself), and if something happened to you - not having your own protection, that you could sue them for not providing that protection.
So, does a park that forbids firearms have a responsibility to protect me while I'm in that park?
Same for a business or a government building.
