But if try CC a gun in the parking lot of the local gas station, and get caught I can be arrested on the spot.

But by legal statute and such and such, if you attempt/try, you haven't broken the law yet because you didn't make it into the secured area yet. If you were to be found with a gun inside the secured area you would/would be arrested on the spot.

As I type this I wonder if your frustration is with the parking lot, rather than the airport. Apologies if I missed your point.

3) There is not currently a penalty for an employer letting you go for storing your firearm in your car, in their parking lot.
so, you won't be prosecuted for a violation of the law. But, you may be looking for new employment opportunities.
