Placing your trust in a gun-free zone may not be the best decision. Not all gun-free zones have established security to enable the venue to monitor those entering for actually having a gun. If there are monitored points of entry, other unmonitored points may exist. The Aurora Theater was a gun-free zone but that insane asshole was still able to get in with plenty of guns and ammo and kill people.

As far as I'm aware privately owned venues may declare themselves to be gun-free zones perhaps invoking some state government option to do so but often have little or no accountability for any consequences of what the public might infer from their decision. I have observed that places like court houses, government facilities and some schools have controlled points of access and metal detectors in place along with security and remote monitoring.

Here's my question: Should venues designating themselves to be "gun-free" have to meet certain legal standards before indicating that status?

If yes, what are some requirements you think should be included?
