Knives no go, baseball bat, yes it would be OK if taking it in as as a baseball bat.

My reasoning is they specifically say knives. A baseball bat by definition is not a weapon. It only becomes a weapon if used for a purpose that it is not initially intended for. The same can be said about tire irons or rocks. However, a slingshot IS a weapon, and that is what it's purpose is, and would be prohibited.

Yep. Unless it was your employer's parking lot covered by the Employee Parking Lot exception.

EDIT TO ADD: Actually, on second glance, no. It states premises, so the parking lot would be OK.

You believe that an "ad-hoc" sign mentioning the word " premises" means you need to define " premises" as a "building or portion of a building"? They don't define what law they're referencing.

That would be my defense that premises by definition in the law is a building or portion of a building.
