No what you are saying is that a/any business is responsible for the safety of their customers which is Corporate responsibility.
A while back there was a discussion about a shooting at a restaurant that had a "No Guns" policy, and most people here were adamant that the restaurant was responsible for its customers' safety.
I won't comment about "Most" people, that said, anyone doing business with such an establishment is automatically putting themselves in harms way which means they are giving up their personal responsibility in favor of the flip of a coin. I don't visit such places as I consider any "gun Free" zone as an open invitation for bad things to happen. And of course they do, quite often.
In an era when shootings like that in the OP are known to occur, any ground level restaurant that has ordinary glass windows is gambling with their customers' lives, betting that "it won't happen here."
How is that not irresponsible?
