Well thanks for clearing that up a bit for me Bart. TBH, the ruling really had me scratching my head when it came to school yards and courthouses.
The ruling on gun free zones did not create a broader right to keep and bear arms. It just said that any gun free zone was legal so long as it extended only to the limits of the property in question. In all 50 states guns can be prohibited from courts, schools, private businesses, and privately owned open ranchland. But in no circumstance can a 'gun free zone' for a school encroach upon public thoroughfares, private homes, private businesses, and etc. merely because they adjoin the school property.
In some states the law says that a person's private vehicle parked on company, court, or school grounds is also beyond the limit of that property limit. Meaning you can legally have a gun in your locked car on company, court, or school property because the confines of your personal vehicle are already determined to be a portion of your private property subject to your Fourth Amendment rights.
Cars can be prohibited from private property, but if they are permitted then they remain the sole concern of their owners. Again, this is as it should be elsewise a precedent is created that allows your car to be searched at will and without warrant whenevr you park it on a private parking lot.
