You're right.... the text of SB 273 does not mention 30.07........30.06 yes, but not 30.07. My guess is that this is not accidental, but we'll see. If it was an oversight, it will be hotly debated in the next session.

Maybe Charles L. Cotton could shed some light on this?
He mentioned in another thread that it was simply because SB273 passed before HB910, so there was no 30.07 sign to prohibit. You can still open carry on government property and are exempt from prosecution under 30.07. But nothing to stop them from posting the unenforceable sign.

I think the city is wrong... but this came from the DA? How is that possible?

DAs are supposed to know and follow the law, but there are many counterexamples. When you have near-total immunity, you don't have to worry about being right quite as much as others.
The DA didn't make a statement, it was the City Attorney.
