Yeah, right!

I hope some day you're arrested when you're not breaking the law and think it's as funny when the shoe is on your foot.

Now, some places might be obvious, but even those require that notice be "posted conspicuously at each public entrance".

I'm afraid, chabouk, that someone new to this forum might read this as saying that the requirement for posting a notice might approximate the requirement for a 30.06 sign. That is, that the absence of such a posting might make it OK to carry, concealed or uncealed, in the federal facillity. These are two independent obligations. If the feds neglect their obligation, of course it doesn't relieve you of yours.

I hope they read it that way, because that was exactly my intent, because it's exactly what the law says:

" ....no person shall be convicted of an offense under subsection (a) or (e) with respect to a Federal facility if such notice is not so posted at such facility.... "

The law functions exactly like Texas PC 30.06: no proper notice, you can't be convicted.

Edit to add: I see CBR600 beat me to it.
