Well, under state law it is legal since anyone can have the gun in their car and premises was defined as the buildings, specifically excluding parking lots. For elementary and secondary schools, you would be in violation of federal law (a very questionable law) but there is nothing the state legislature can do about that.
Only if you don't have a CHL:
(B) Subparagraph (A) does not apply to the possession of a firearm—
(ii) if the individual possessing the firearm is licensed to do so by the State in which the school zone is located or a political subdivision of the State, and the law of the State or political subdivision requires that, before an individual obtains such a license, the law enforcement authorities of the State or political subdivision verify that the individual is qualified under law to receive the license;
Of course, (A) also requires that the firearm or its components have previously moved in interstate commerce, so if you smelted the iron and filed out the gun (legally) in your garage, you've got nothing to worry about there anyway.

I am a bit dismayed to see the "out" in the section beginning with: "access to the parking area is restricted or limited through the use of a fence, gate, security station...". Charles, is this one of the mandatory deals to keep it from being DOA?
Note that it's "and" provide safe storage or alternate parking.

I thought the same until I spotted that little "and."
