The entire alternate parking lot kind of doesn't seem like that great of an idea if it's gonna be something publicly known: "Okay bad guys: all of the cars over here in this gated, secured parking lot do not have guns. All of the cars over in this open, un-secured parking lot are reserved for people keeping guns in their car. Go over there if you need to get a gun quickly." And if an employer charges for parking, couldn't they theoretically charge those in the "gun lot" an exorbitant amount to park there? I mean, I pay over $500.00 a year to park at my University. Anything preventing them from saying "you can park over in this lot with a gun in your car, but it's gonna cost you $1,000 a year"?KD5NRH wrote:Especially since most employers aren't going to have an easy time just obtaining a whole new parking lot right next door.Keith B wrote:However, if there is no parking area like that presently, or something close that could easily be converted, IMO it would be cheaper for them to put up a secured set of lockers or just allow you to keep it inside the gated area.
Another question would be, is the employer making sufficient effort if the alternative lot is always full? If that doesn't count against them, they could, in theory, provide one "guns OK" parking space and call their obligation fulfilled.
What if they provide you with storage lockers for your gun, but they're located inside the premises? And the premises is posted 30.06. Seems like they fulfilled the requirements by the law but it still won't do anything for you. lol
