That is why i said I was asking because I couldn't cite any case law. So rather than state it as factual I was trying to find out if anybody else could. When I originally got the impression about being able to carry concealed on private property was about 6 years ago when my employer, had given me written permission to carry in any manner seen fit on his property. Granted our business was not open to the public and i was a member of middle management who worked all hours and weekends. There were several cases of threats against me from attempted thieves stealing out of our yard by both the common criminal and previous employees. Now with that being said at the time I was not even familiar with OCing and while reading the information available to me I was under the impression that carrying on private property that was not open to the public was perfectly legal. Again though I was unclear if that pertained to openly or concealed. West Milwaukee Police knew from several burglar alarms that I was carrying both concealed and openly during after hours and weekends and never said anything to me until a safe with a pistol and other legal documents was stolen from our office. Then all they said was that it never should have been there and gave me a lecture about putting another gun on the street. Even if it was an old antique.
So ok if carrying concealed on somebody else's property "may" not be legal what about your own personal property? Also does it matter whether it is inside the house or in say the backyard? My biggest concern as a fairly new OCer is that I would rather ask now than accidentally have a sweater cover it and get popped with a charge that I "ass"umed didn't apply.
Can anybody state any case law where it may be legal to CC on private property? Say for example if it is your own property or a family members? And yes I know all about the GSFZ, transportation laws, and the general ban on CC. Just wondering if there are any exceptions to the law that I should be aware of.
