1. “"While the operator of a business such as a horse stable conceivably has some duty to his renters or to passersby to stop or to curtail known or frequent dangerous and imprudent use of firearms on his premises, this record does not establish that [the operator] knew or should have known any shooting had ever taken place in Pasture No. 1.... [T]his record simply does not establish any reason for [the operator] to have anticipated that anyone would shoot a gun in the stable and pasture area. Under the circumstances of this case [the operator] had no duty to provide ... against dangerous conduct which he had no reason to anticipate." Sanderson, supra at pp. 17-18 .”
