Guns in your glove box
Not an issue I get really worked up about either way. After all, my car is my property and if your lot is open to the public . . .

I just don’t like that the perception their email creates is that they are now sacrificing other issues for this one.

i have to agree… my car continues to be my property if i park it on someone else’s property… and thus all contents are also my property…

I don’t know about Florida, but in NC, at least, it’s not a mere trespass to carry where a sign prohibits it; it’s a criminal offense. If this were really about the sanctity of property rights, why isn’t it treated like any other trespass?

In Fla being armed on premises where firearms prohibition has been posted is a felony; it’s considered armed trespass which is a felony (a trespass warning is required, and the sign constitutes that warning, as does a written trespass warning issued by an LEO at the request of a property owner. A simple “No Trespassing” sign with no firearms reference also constitutes that legal warning, making possession of a firearm while trespassing a felony).
Pay attention to the statute referenced on the sign: referencing Florida Statutes Chapter 790 or 790.06 or no statute referenced means everyone not a sworn LEO is prohibited from possessing on premises; specifically referencing 790.01 allows for carry with state-issued Concealed Weapon or Firearms License (the official name in FL for a CCW permit) per 790.01 paragraph (3).
FYI, in the absence of posted prohibitions Fla statutes make it a felony to possess contraband (includes all firearms) on the grounds of a mental health facility (FS Chapter 394.458); if a hospital has a mental ward it’s considered a facility.
