Public parking lot

(1/4) > >>

cracked junior:
I have a question about what makes a public parking lot.   My employer prohibits firearms on property, including in your personal vehicle. If you get caught it means being fired.  Vehicle searches are not done so if you keep your mouth shut.  no one will know.

the employee parking lot is on private land with no trespassing signs with roughly enough spots for over 400 vehicles.  there is no fence, gate or guard shack stopping any one from coming into the parking lot.   the only visitors we get are people interviewing for jobs or semi trucks dropping off freight. 

I am asking this because several guys I work with and I have conceal carry permits and not sure if our parking lot applies.   One guy asked his instructor about it.  He said you should be OK but don't be a guinea pig.

This is in the legislature now, to stop employers from doing this

Pretty much the definition of private parking...so it would  not be open to the public in my opinion, but I am not a lawyer.

We have seen lb785.   Sounds good to me.   The nra ila website says publicly accessible parking lots.  Still not sure if that applies. 

Wildgoose:
If it is posted no trespassing its not open to the public. Sounds like in this case your employer can still enforce the company policy even if LB785 passes. I agree with Dan W on this one. You would be still be sticking your neck out.  :(
