seamus,
I see that you live in Galveston. If you had to go to UTMB for medical care for yourself or family, or for your job, would you carry?

Re: What is the legal definition of "college campus"?
Jim,
Knowing who Dallas County's DA is, there is NO WAY that I would take your bet. I am just wondering if I were arrested if I would even have a legal "foot" to stand on. The area around UTSW/Parkland/Children's Hospital is not the safest in the city of Dallas, and none of these properties have 30.06 signs; I am required to go to this area quite a bit for my job and would like to protect myself, just wondering if anything could be done to "unmuddy" the waters of this area of the law?

What is the legal definition of "college campus"?
I ask this because I am somewhat confused. On the surface it seems like a very easy question, with examples like Texas Tech, University of Texas, Texas A&M, SMU, TCU etc. The area where I think it is fuzzy is with institutions like The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, The University of North Texas Health Sciences Center in Fort Worth. These institutions serve the role of state-run/funded hospitals, but are under the banner of a University System. There are medical schools (and other allied health/graduate programs) at these institutions, but are these places covered by the law forbidding carry on a college campus? Or are they Hospitals that must post 30.06 signs to forbid concealed carry? Since they are government run hospitals are they even allowed to post 30.06 signs?
The Dallas County Hospital, "Parkland" sits on the UT-Southwestern campus and shares some facilities/staff/etc. with UTSW. I know that the main Parkland building is owned by Dallas County and is operated/policed by the Dallas County Hospital District, but is completely surrounded by property of the University of Texas System. Is carry permitted at Parkland? (If you have ever been around/inside of Parkland, you can understand why I want to be able to carry there).
The same situation exists at the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, which shares its campus/facilities with University Medical Center, the Lubbock County Hospital. I just think the law may be a little gray as to if concealed carry is or is not permitted in these places. Do any of you have any insight to these types of situations?
