From other readings it would appear the law was intended to grant immunity for actions of the CWP holder, not alter the existent immunity of a property owner for unforeseen events. To hold a property owner liable in almost every state you must show they had knowledge of a hazard, and have failed to take reasonable steps to mitigate the hazard (and other conditions). If you Are hit by a car walking across a parking lot there is not a lot of liability of the parking lot owner, and even less if they posted stop signs and a speed limit. They will point to this as being reasonable. Preventing anyone from speeding in the lot would be a lot harder. This does not prevent filing of a suit, but makes prevailing very difficult. Attorneys (like everyone else) prefer to be paid. Damage suits are often taken on contingency, anticipating a victory to pay the bill. This has the effect of limiting suits with low chances of prevailing, unless the complainant has deep enough pockets to pay the attorney and is willing to risk their money.
