Getting laid off last week might be a blessing !

Just be sure you get adequate liability insurance to cover your
posterior.

I'm wondering where I'm open to liability , since you're the second person
to mention insurance coverage . Perhaps in the event one of my units fails ?
I can't see the bar unit itself failing , but perhaps the surface it's
mounted on ...

Three possibly liability openings I can think of:

- Your security bars aren't secure enough and someone inside is
attacked.

- Your security bars are too secure and someone inside can't get out in
a fire.

- Most anything happens and the slime bag lawyers do the shotgun thing
and sue anyone remotely involved, including the pizza delivery guy, and
you have to defend against the suit.
