You didn't mention where you're going, but it would be worthwhile to investigate the particular laws in your destination.

You need to be SURE.
In Ohio, CPZ signs have the force of law. Violating them is a CRIMINAL offense.
On the other hand, posted parking lots only incur civil trespass. You can only be asked to leave and if you refuse, that becomes criminal trespass. Unless you're in the car waving the gun around, it's never going to come up.
KNOW the laws where you are or are going to be, at least to the extent that you don't violate them to your cost.
