Where does the trespass law say it doesn't apply to vehicles?

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

not even close as 30.05 states clearly that 30.05 cannot be used in the case of weapons so nope doesn't work

That's incorrect. A property owner can use 30.05 notice to prohibit weapons carried under the authority of the Motorist Protection Act and since there's a deadly weapon, it's a Class A misdemeanor.

The parking lot law is for employees. It doesn't protect patients at the hospital, family and friends who visit, etc.

Edit: unless they have a CHL...then it's a DEFENSE under 30.05.

If the weapon is a concealed handgun and they have a CHL that's a 30.05 defense but NOT a 30.06 defense. Having a CHL is no defense for having a shotgun or other weapon the property owner prohibits.

Looking back to the OP, that looks like effective notice for both 30.05 and 30.06 on the sign.

Should the cops pull you over and give you a ticket for driving 52 mph when the sign says 55?

52. 55. Close enough!
