Why can't a State owned hospital post under 30.06/30.07?

30.06
...
(e) 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.

I know a lot of folks say that because a hospital was initially listed in 46.03 as being prohibited that they can post a 30.06/30.07, but I disagree. Because section (i) was added, it says that unless they post a 30.06/30.07 it is NOT prohibited. And, section (e) specifically says governmental entities can't post a 30.06/30.07 unless it is prohibited in 46.03, which it really isn't due to section (i)'s exception.
