The Capitol would only be off limits if they post 30.06/7 when they are meeting, and presumably only the legislative chambers. My understanding is they don't post.
Read 46.035 again, especially 46.035(c) and 46.035(i) in CSHB 1911. Open Meetings are off limits by statute to non-licensed handgun carriers, but are off limits to LTC holders only if 30.06/7 are posted.
Aha...I see I failed to see "unlicensed" in your post. You are correct. So an advantage of having LTC would be ability to carry in 46.035 off limits locations that don't post 30.06/7 (or aren't required to). :tiphat:

There will still be places off limits by statute to carry a handgun for non-LTC holders that are not off limits to LTC holders unless there is a 30.06/7 sign, namely:

Hospitals
Amusement Parks
Government meetings subject to Open Meetings Act
What about gun free school zones?
I actually thought about saying other than gun free school zones... but I didn't think about the statutorily prohibited places which are still required to post signs.

Good points.
Interestingly, this means that the State Capitol would be off limits to an unlicensed carrier while the legislature is meeting. Which would likely mean that they would be stopped at the metal detectors and turned away.
