I think it would come down to the fact that you can choose to enter or not. Also it has been ruled that law enforcement can’t he held liable for your protection, so I doubt a business would be.
I would guess that there have been people that have lost family members in places where guns are banned that have tried to file suit. But since those are civil cases and not criminal they may be hard for us to find.
IMHO the biggest single issue we should be addressing (concerning where we can carry) is totally removing any liability that a business owner would have in the case of a shooting, simply because it was in their building.
