Wisconsin state representative Bob Gannon (R-Slinger) wants gun-free businesses to pay triple damages in the event that an unarmed law-abiding citizen is harmed during an on-premises attack.

Gannon hopes his bill discourage businesses from banning guns in the first place.

According to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Sentinel Journal, the bill is titled the “Disarmed Citizen Compensation Act.” And Gannon said the “bill will give the citizens of Wisconsin a better chance of defending themselves and their loved ones against this scourge of terrorist activity.”

Wisconsin’s concealed carry law allows privately-owned businesses to bar guns on their premises. Gannon’s bill would not erase that allowance, it would simply make sure that businesses which choose to disarm law-abiding citizens would do so with the understanding that they are financially liable for the well-being of said citizens.

Gannon said he is getting support for the bill but will not be releasing names until the bill is ready for consideration in early 2017.
