- School carry laws do not legally prohibit carry in a parking lot (unless a school sponsored activity is taking place there).imkopaka wrote:IANAL, but I do not believe so. The school carry laws prohibit carry in a parking lot, but amusement park carry laws specifically say: "The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area." So the law is sort of divided.
Not only that, employee parking lot carry laws prohibit a business from restricting the carry and storage of firearms by their employees in the parking lot.The sign you posted would attempt to do exactly that, meaning that this sign is not only non-compliant, it is illegal as the language makes no exception for employees. If any employee decided to report the sign, it would have to come down.
- The employer parking lot law applies only to employees and simply makes it illegal for the company to fire you for leaving a gun in your car. It only applies to employees, but 30.06 doesn't apply to carry in your car, so visitors would be allowed to drive past a 30.06, but not exit the car while carrying.
-The definition of "premises" applies to all of 46.035, including amusement parks, and excludes walkways and parking areas, but 30.06 refers to PROPERTY, so carrying in a parking lot (outside your car) after receiving proper notice would be a class C misdemeanor, even if you are an employee.
