To comply, you would have to ...

To comply, you would have to not forbid the legal storage of firearms. Let's say you post a sign that says "Only legally stored firearms allowed in this lot." Now, you have complied with part 2. Onus of legality of storage isn't addressed, only that the lot owner has complied if he doesn't forbid legal storage, (for which a definition is given,) and is hence is liability free. All he has to do is not forbid legal storage. He needn't care about illegal storage, permits, phase of the moon, el nino, etc.

It's silent about liability for illegal storage... but you raise a good point. I'll take it up with my senator and keep you appraised of amendments prior to the vote.

It's probably already on the books for the gun owner to be fully liable for safe storage. You think you're burned out? Yeesh. I gotta get some sleep myself. Later.

I know that is the intent, but that is not how the wording parses.

Which was my point.

I thought so. :-)

If so, cool. I just didn't see it there.
