I can say for absolute certainty that every building where concealed carry is prohibited, is posted...

Because I am one of the Rangers that will say, "you are welcome to carry, as long as you keep it concealed and don't bring them into prohibited buildings"
Sport Coach wrote:Been to Big Bend plenty in last few years. Concealed carry is legal for sure in the park but if I remember the buildings are posted. Depending on the ranger you talk to they will just tell you about the rules or will be somewhat anti gun sounding. It's absolutely beautiful in the central and western part of the park. The eastern part of the park is more bland unless you do some strenuous hiking to remote locations. Enjoy!
The vast majority of my co workers are anti gun, and they get a twist in their panties when someone even mentions guns.
This is very good information from a person like yourself who KNOWS! Thanks!

I work in a lot of Federal facilities in my current employment. The interesting thing is that many of them are not posted IAW 18 USC 930. I believe the reason is that most of them are in states where you couldn't carry anyway (hence one could be charged under state law since Feds observe concurrent jurisdiction).

If they are not posted with the 18 USC 930 notice you cannot be convicted for carrying into a federal facility.

18 USC 930
...
(h) Notice of the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) shall be posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal facility, and notice of subsection (e) shall be posted conspicuously at each public entrance to each Federal court facility, and no person shall be convicted of an offense under subsection (a) or (e) with respect to a Federal facility if such notice is not so posted at such facility...
...
Since it says it right there in your quote, doesn't that only apply to court facilities?
no it says both, therefore posting requirement applies to both. Federal facility is a misdemeanor, federal court facility is a felony, but both require posting to be convicted, at least per the clear words of the statute. I truncated the posting for readability, but you can google the us code.
