While that is unfortunately true despite the constitution's obvious intent to the contrary, only federal law enforcement can do anything about it. State law allows it, federal law prohibits it. If I carry in the post office parking lot I could be arrested by FBI, border patrol, etc, but NOT by local PD, sheriff, DPS, etc.
If my PO calls 911 and reports "man with a gun", the local popo is coming Code3 and making the arrest. Most Federal Gun Laws originate with detentions made by local police. Just look at all the conviction for carrying on property controlled by Federal Law and see who makes the arrest. Schools, POs, Army Corp of Engineers, 99% of Federal gun charges are by Texas Peace officers.
About a year ago, my PO made a DUI arrest in the PO parking lot. Guy was convicted in Federal Court.
