Isn't the Shawnee Wal-Mart in the Mall? It could be a mall policy not WM.
Except for the fact that he was excercising his rights, as opposed to unconstitutional legislation....
No law broken, it would be trespassing only if the business noticed your firearm, asked you to leave, and you did not comply.
Gun Buster signs are not enforceable, the only places not to carry are listed in the SDA. We try to make this too complicated.
I can't seem to get a straight answer on this, so I'll give it a shot here. I have to go to the post office every day. Am I okay to have my pistol in my car in the parking lot and leave it there while I run inside to check my box, or have I violated the law simply by driving in to the lot while carrying?
Leaving it in your car, in the parking lot of the post office is fine.
I'm sure trade_sniper meant that he parks completely off school property (such as on the public street) when he stashes his carry gun before entering school property.
Sorry, I mispoke, actually I've always done it in the Post Office parking lot.
It is a significant breech of the law to store a firearm unattended on school property. The penalties are severe. Please review the statute below.

You are in violation of state law and have committed a felony by leaving your vehicle when on school property with a firearm in the vehicle, the law is pretty specific you may drive on to school propeerty to pickup and drop off a student as long as you and the gun remain in the vehicle.
The public parking lot is not prohibited.
