First, an employer may fire an employee for disregarding a notice that weapons are prohibited on premises, but how can a police officer arrest a person for violating a company policy? How can the Tarrant County DA's office determine that violation of an employee policy is an arrestable offense? The law is clear that exact wording is required for 30.06 signs, so unless the arrested employee was arrested for refusing to leave the property (criminal trespass) after being advised by management to leave then I don't understand what law she violated. Being in violation of a non-compliant 30.06 sign is not an arrestable offense under the law as long as the person leaves the premises when requested.

Second, why would any uniformed police officer disarm in public, on a call, while on duty? If I'm wearing a uniform (read: target for criminals) I would never be in public without all of my defensive weapons (primary handgun, backup handgun, etc.). This is not only stupid and dangerous, it may be against department policy and the officer is still responsible for his weapon that he relinquishes to hospital employees if his weapon is somehow accessed and used for a crime. Of course the hospital may legally forbid armed officers from entering the hospital without a warrant, but they cannot call 911 and then require officers to disarm - the officers would not be obligated to handle the call if they were forbidden access to the premises based on the officers being armed.
