Re: Handgun Storage in Automobile?
You are right. In the scenario you describe, the parking lot was not the property that was posted. My point being that the term premises is not used in 30.06. It specifies property which does not have the limiting definition that premises does.

30.06 is not limited to the premises. It covers whatever property is posted.nightmare69 wrote:30.06 sign only covers the premises, not the parking lots.Cap'n wrote:As the OP, I don't know if I learned anything new, but I do thank folks for trying to help.
My concern was whether I had any additional legal obligations beyond locking my car (with EDC gun) when having to enter a 30.06 area, e.g., hospital, post office, polling station, etc. The 30.06 places we can't avoid. Don't think I've ever taken my discretionary $ to a business posted as 30.06.
My proposed workaround -- lacking any other options in a small car -- was to clear the pistol, leave the pistol concealed in the locked car (but not in a locked box ... no room for a concealed lock box), and carry the mag & ammo with me. The last step was in the unlikely event my pistol was stolen, the empty pistol couldn't immediately be used to harm anyone.
