LOWER SCHOOL INSURANCE RATES BY PASSING CAMPUS CARRY
if the school can’t be held liable for damages, that’s ZERO RISK as opposed to currently they CAN be sued if someone steals a gun from my car and uses it … so Insurance should decrease if this bill is passed
a) A court may not hold the state, …liable for damages ..
(b) A cause of action in damages may not be brought against
…
1) Guns ARE already allowed ON CAMPUS, JUST NOT IN BUILDINGS, secured and concealed like they are everywhere else in private businesses whose rates did NOT increase for “failing” to post a 30.06 sign.
2) The bills provide IMMUNITY for campuses , which they currently DO NOT HAVE even though guns are already allowed on campus.
SINCE guns are already on campus and since they’d have a new IMMUNITY from liability, the risk of suits decreases as would insurance premiums.
Insurance is a risk-based business.
Less risk = less premium.
Guns are already on campus, stored in cars for burglars to get, no increased risk, actually, decreased risk if carried safe and secure and concealed than if stored in cars for burglars..
Immunity from lawsuits = less risk
Less risk = less premium.
