Kalrog,

None of us would want to be the test case.

This vague area is another example of issues that require clarification.

IMHO, the restriction IS a violation of my 2nd amendment rights.

Why must we be prevented from defending ourselves in post offices?

I have heard and read many times "I will not go where I can not carry".

Well, I don't belive that for a second. We do have to go where we are "legally(?)" restricted from carrying.

I am in agreement that if a person were to carry concealed on government property and is legally allowed to carry, it is not against federal law.

A person must be able to defend himself.

'Nuff said.

Does she work for a Christus hospital?

That's the only group I've seen ban concelaed carry.

Yep. Christus St. John in Nassau Bay, Texas. Their attorneys did their homework. The signs are exact, word for word, one inch block letters. They are at each public entrance.

They have a serious problem with the riff raff in their hospitals. The Webster, TX Police are in there all the time. It is a shame the employees can not protect themselves, because the "security" (and the term is used loosely) can not and will not. I guarantee that there are illegal weapons carried by BG's in their hospitals. Woe be unto the hospital if my wife is harmed. They will rue the day. No threat, a promise.

A lot of this 30.06 sign stuff can also be found on Packing.org. I have joined in on the other discussions as well at times.

Some have maintained that even if the sign is not exactly 30.06 compliant, the owner's intent to prohibit is obvious, so concealed carry is prohibited.

The same logic would apply if an owner only 30.06 posted one of any number of entrances. You would be prohibited from carrying.

This makes no sense. The hospital where my wife works posted every entrance, signs are exactly according to statute. I honor the posting. I enter a mall through an unposted entrance, I pack, I keep my mouth shut. If I am made, I didn't know about the other entrances. I keep my mouth shut.

Certainly the law is not exact, and there will always be exceptions and what-ifs. From my experience, if an owner really wants to properly post, it will happen. If he doesn't do his homework and half-way posts or sticks up vague references and gun-busters, I will pack, thank you.

I think way too much thought is given to this issue. It reminds me a lot of the newbies that ask business's if it is okay to bring in their guns. The class covers the necessary points. Pack, be safe!

I think way too much

Therefore, if it is not posted at every entrance, enter at the entrance that is not posted and carry. If the entrance is not posted, it is not conspicuous, and I couldn't see it, so I have not been warned. Pretty simple.
