I am confused as well but as previously posted I don't carry or leave my CCW in the truck there also because last year I had my car broken into while there on a long Dr.'s visit. You guys are definitely right about the parking there as well, there aren't nearly enough parking spaces.
Also I hope everyone enjoys Veterans Day today.

Re: Gun On Veterans Administration Property?
I frequent the VA Hospital in Houston for regular Dr.'s visits and do not take my CCW because there are signs posted as you enter that say it is illegal. Upon searching on the net I found this in the VA police officers handbook:
t. Firearm and Dangerous Weapon Prohibition (18 U.S.C. 0 930). The following notice
will be posted conspicuously at each public entrance to the facility:
Whoever knowingly possesses or causes the presence of a firearm or other
dangerous weapon on the grounds or buildings of this facility, or attempts to
do so, is subject to fine or imprisonment of not more than one year, or both.
18 U.S.C Section 930a.
I believe that you cannot even have it in your car unless you park off of the premises which in Houston is not really a great area. YMMV IANAL etc.
