Government entities cannot post the signs unless the place is an off-limits place such as courthouses or schools.
However, Federal property is always off-limits per Federal law and as such do not need those signs.
Unfortunately, it's still up to the courts to decide. In Jefferson County (Beaumont, TX) there are absolutely no weapons allowed in the courthouse building. http://co.jefferson.tx.us/sheriff_old/CHSecurity.htm. Paying special attention to:
"4. Signs will be posted regarding the carrying of prohibited items such as guns and knives even if the individual possesses a concealed handgun permit."
The Jefferson County Courthouse is a beautiful piece of architecture and is a wonderful place to explore. It has a great deal of historical value.
While it does house several courts, the courthouse and its annex are the location of several county offices as well, such as:
County Clerk (Deeds, Marriage Licenses, etc)
Historical Commission
Veteran's Services
Tax Office (Property & Auto Taxes and Voter Registration)
I can't do any on-site business with ANY office in the courthouse unless I am completely disarmed. There is one entrance to the entire complex and it is heavily guarded.
Until it is sorted out through the courts (not AG Opinions) this will be the policy and it will be enforced.
