30.05,(f) It is a defense to prosecution under this section that:
(1) the basis on which entry on the property or land or in the building was forbidden is that entry with a handgun was forbidden; and
(2) the person was carrying a concealed handgun and a license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a concealed handgun.
While in your vehicle a person is carrying under MPA. 30.06 does not apply while under MPA.
As long as the firearm does not exit the vehicle MPA applies.

Whether it's covered or open air doesn't matter. It's their property.

30.05 or 30.06 does not apply as long as the firearm does not leave your vehicle.

Assuming there is a similar sign at all of the entrances onto the property, is this a legal 30.06 sign? In other words, can it be at the entrance to the property, or does it have to be on DOORS?

Both 30.05 and 30.06 refer to property so trespass notice doesn't have to be on doors and isn't limited to buildings.

The parking lot is not covered.

I think neither should be prohibited locations. They should both be treated the same as libraries, shopping malls, etc. However, if someone is going to argue for prohibiting guns in classrooms, how can they justify guns in school playgrounds and student drop-off areas?

I agree. What would be easier to get passed? Then go for more?

PC §46.03, (a), (1) needs to be deleted, or the following needs to be added.

(j) It is an exception to PC §46.03, (a), (1) that the CHL is in the public portion of a school or educational facility while dropping off or picking up their child or ward.

The sign implies that there are special premises for LEO and security.
