it is part of the bill.

The author probably thinks that is it a necessary compromise to get the bill passed.

In the last session, industry objected very strongly to this bill.

If they have a secure parking lot, and CHL holders must park outside it, then they can search the person of the CHL holders who pass through security. The CHL holders will have identified themselves by parking in the separate lot.

Of course, unless they search every vehicle coming into the secure lot every time, anyone will be able to bring in a firearm and pull off a planned rampage -- especially someone who doesn't care if he gets caught.

'Fraid not. In general, a state cannot make a law that compels the federal government to do or refrain from doing something.

There may be exceptions. It seems that the feds have to comply with zoning regulations and building codes. I don't know what the legal basis for that is (I searched).
