SB452 gives casinos of a certain size the ability to call the police whenever anyone but law enforcement carries a firearm onto their property without staff having to first give them a warning.

“Private businesses already have the ability to prohibit firearms on their premises. That is something they may already do, and we are trying to seek to make sure that is something they can properly enforce,” said Cannizzaro.
