The legislature made their intent very clear when they passed the LAW and said it doesn't apply on government property.
By all means, you and ScottDLS exercise your 2A rights and stroll right in there with your licensed CW. Should you be apprehended and charged with unlawful carry, it shouldn't take a whole lot of money and time to establish your innocence.

Me, I'll wait outside. Good luck, y'all.
How is it any different than carrying your CH anywhere else that the CHL law allows? In fact, the 30.06 law is essentially NOT APPLICABLE on government owned property. According to a long ago post by Mr. Cotton, the (46.15) exception to 46.02 for CHL (and peace officers') carry is only a "defense to prosecution", per case law.

So any time I carry at all, I'm taking a risk that I'll have to defend myself in court. I won't "wait outside".
