Re: 30.06 is ok,but
Steve, that makes sense to me. I knew that there was some justification there, but I had the code mixed up. I forgot about both the MPA angle and the defense to prosecution angle. This is why I am not a lawyer.srothstein wrote:TAM, the problem is that section 30.06 does not use the word premises, but bars you from carrying on the property posted. So, it is legally possible to post a parking lot and prohibit carry there.
But, and I have posted this before, my opinion is that ti has no effect on someone in a car. The wording of 30.06 only applies to you when you are carrying under the authority of your CHL. I don't see carrying in your car as being under the authority of your CHL since ti is part of 46.02 that it is not illegal to carry in your car. The MPA made it one of the elements of the offense of unlawfully carrying to not be in a car you own or control. Since it is not illegal, and the CHL is an exception (or defense to prosecution) allowing carry when it is illegal, I don't see carrying in your car to be under the authority of your CHL.
RJ, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'll be placing my money on Steve's opinion.johnson0317 wrote:

Whatever, he is the man, and he is probably annoyed. I will put money on his opinion.

I can't for the life of me figure out where I got the idea of 30.06 applying only to premises defined as a building or portion thereof.

Re: 30.06 is ok,but
I'm not convinced that signs at parking lot entrances are valid. My understanding is that 30.06 bars you from the "premises," and "premises" is defined in the code as a building or portion thereof; and also that 30.06 specifically allows you to secure your weapon in your car in the parking lot when a building is posted.
If I'm wrong about that, can someone point me to where it is found in the code? If I'm right, then you can simply disarm in the parking lot before entering the building.
