2011 Legislative issues

(1/5) > >>

wrenrj1:
I know the Castle doctrine will be an issue in the 2011 legislature, are there other issues that this body needs to lobby for?  I for one would like to see a position taken on CCW weapons left in personal vehicles.  My issue is that public employees state/local cannot park personal vehicles on state property that may have personal weapons secured in them.  I am limiting this to CCW permit holders.  That means any state parking garages, or local government garages, etc.

My issue is, that you can park at a meter on the doorstep of state buildings, even the state capitol, in a public parking place and have a weapon secured in your vehicle, yet not park a block or two away in state owned parking, as most state employees do.

Are there other issues for 2011?

Let's clarify this a bit...

you want to change what part of this rule.

As I see it you can park in a state parking structure if you meet the provisions of 018.06. You have a problem with your employer, not the CHP rules.  Am I wrong in the way I am reading this?


--- Quote ---018.06 Except as prohibited by federal law, a permit holder may carry a concealed handgun in a vehicle or on his or her person while riding in or on a vehicle into or onto any parking area which is open to the public and used by any of the places or premises listed in Section 018.01 above if the handgun is not removed from the vehicle and the handgun is properly secured in the vehicle before the permit holder exits the vehicle. To be properly secured in the vehicle, the handgun must be locked inside the glove box, trunk or other compartment of the vehicle, in a storage box attached to the vehicle, or in a securely attached hardened compartment if the vehicle is a motorcycle

Maybe the " open to the public " is the difference.

Great questions Dan, I'll get back with you on this.  Thanks for calling me on specifics. Currently, I'm aware that state employees (or the general public) cannot posses a firearm on state property.  State garages are state property.

How about pushing to eliminate Section 018.04?
