30.06 restricts carry on private PROPERTY (not PREMISES = Building).... Property would include buildings and land.
If you are not an employee... the parking lot law doesn't cover you.

I am not a lawyer... This is just my opinion.

(2) received notice that entry on the property by a license holder with a concealed handgun was forbidden.

(b) For purposes of this section, a person receives notice if the owner of the property or someone with apparent authority to act for the owner provides notice to the person by oral or written communication.

(c) In this section:
