Colorado GOP Lawmakers Introduce Gun Legislation
Would force business owners to allow people with concealed-carry permits onto their property or provide extra security
The latest gun bill from Republican lawmakers would require business owners to allow concealed-carry permit holders to pack heat or else provide one security officer for every 50 customers and face increased liability.
Sen. Kent Lambert of Colorado Springs said his bill, expected to be introduced Wednesday, is aimed at public-access private property, such as a mall. He mentioned the shooting inside an Aurora movie theater in July where 12 people died and 70 were injured.

It's not up to GOP lawmakers. Business owners choice.
Gah, it's stupid to FORCE guns upon people who DON'T want them, too. Seriously, government, we get it, you're trying really hard, but you're obviously inept. We got this from here.
