Nice of them to acknowledge something we already knew.
I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.

Made my trip to austin there are no weapons sign on all of the buses I rode.
The signs were no where near compliant I got on and rode no problem
They can't legally keep me and my gun off the buses anyway since it is a public bus
Their web site makes exceptions for CHL.
I left my .38 at home and carried my .357 instead
