Question about the "vehicle is an extension of your home" rule
Posted on 7/16/14 at 2:26 pm

How do you feel about this mass email I just received? From my understanding of the law this seems illegal to tell me that I can not keep my gun in my truck. I am just trying to understand.
Thanks
Thanks

It's not a true extension of your home. You have less rights in your vehicle than you do in your home.

you can legally keep your gun in your truck
you can not however legally keep your truck containing gun in/on the parking area of a federal facility

TX passed law last year opening up college parking lots and hospital parking lots as exemptions.

Thats such bullshite though because many times I pack up all my hunting gear before work and then after I knock off I head straight to the camp

You can have it in your car at Lsu too.

This is correct. Remember that not every state views your car as an extension of your home either so you may be breaking state law in some places if you carry in your truck. Federal law supersedes state law so if the Feds say you can't carry on Fed property you are screwed. I am a cop and cannot carry off duty on Fed property either so I feel your pain.

well it looks like I'll just be parking in an adjacent parking lot now

Just make sure you don't park in adjacent lot only on days you have firearms in your vehicle. someone may figure out your pattern and make you a target.

Take it to court and see if you can win one for all of us. I was told that the Feds recently had a ban on the possession of a firearm in National Forests during bow season but someone sued them and they lost. Now you can carry a pistol in your car or on you, if you have a CC permit, during bow season. Please keep in mind that this is all second hand info and I have not researched it myself but I do trust the source.

I'm just wondering what provoked them to all of a sudden send this email now
Posted on 7/16/14 at 2:54 pm to mylsuhat
It's like claiming a store can't ask you to leave for open carrying. As you are parking on their property, they can tell you not to bring something onto their property.

Because of the idea behind that email you received, I have to take my gun out my car whenever I am traveling to visit my refinery/plant customers. Their policy strictly prohibits weapons of any kind anywhere on their property, including parking lots.

Rules are meant to be broken 
You know what's fricking retarded? I can walk into St Charles courthouse with a pocket knife and no one even thinks a thing. If I walk into BR with steel toed boots or a fancy belt, they basically strip search me

Which is complete and total bullshite...
So you are required to be disarmed all the way from home to work and back, every single day, even though most plants are in some of the small crime-ridden areas. Or when I used to have to drive through north Baton Rouge, they expected me to be unarmed the entire way there since I can't have it in MY car in the company parking lot. frick. That.
Plus, those plants are huge gaping holes anyway. Who's gonna stop someone who wants to do harm, the security guards with radios? They are absolutely the perfect stupid idea for a gun-free zone.

I work armed security and have been told that if I go to the VA for anything that I can not leave my gun in my vehicle, that I have to leave it with the VA security when entering the hospital. Have been told that they will walk the parking lot looking in cars for any weapons.
