The whole scenario is based on them already knowing you have a gun (through whatever means), and that is the true basis of asking you to leave.

I'd like some more clarification on this.

Simple: your instructor was dead wrong.

Trespassing is PC 30.05, which says that criminal trespass doesn't apply if the reason for the trespass is that the actor is carrying a concealed handgun with a CHL. Unless being given notice by PC 30.06, of course... and in a government building, PC 30.06 does not apply except for meetings of governmental bodies.

There is no section of the Code that would allow them to prosecute a CHL for trespass for carrying a concealed handgun.

Of course, they could always claim you were being asked to leave for some reason completely unrelated to the handgun. I seriously doubt they'd be sharp enough to try that at the time of the incident, so if they ask you to leave and then summon the police, then make them answer this question (in front of the officer): "Am I being asked to leave because I'm carrying a concealed handgun?"

If they admit it, then you can't be prosecuted.

Why would it be? I don't know what goes on there, but unless it's a prison, a court or a school, it's not off limits.
