Even the secured area of the police station isn't statutorily off limits, it's just one area where they have the authority to disarm you. It's not required, but they have the authority to do so if they wish.

I don't understand. What makes the "secure" area of a police station different? It's still government property, isn't it? Wouldn't there have to be a government meeting in progress and a 30.06 sign posted to make it off limits?

As someone who runs around loose in the back areas of a police station I assume they mean areas where prisoners are likely to be. That would include the jail, officers offices, interview rooms, etc. Non LEO might be likely to pay less attention to their surroundings and possibly have their gun snatched by a quick BG.
