It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity and is not a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035.

The second general rule for our law is that anything not forbidden is permitted. The law forbids denying a person entry on the basis of their being armed if it is government property and the person has a CHL. We agree on this. Where I think we disagree is on the way around the law. There is nothing forbidding the requirement for the entry to be logged, and many places log all entries. You are required to sign in at almost every state office in Austin, as one example, unless it is a customer service window. There is nothing forbidding the denial of entry for a person who refuses to log in.
