That's one of the few places I can think of that I refuse to tow cars from - and thank you for your service btw :patriot: .

I wouldn't recommend parking anywhere close to the VA, it's all private property. However, there's a "Metro Transit Center" on Fannin street just south of 610. You could probably park your car there and take a bus or taxi.
There is a major grocery-store across the street on Old Spanish Trail. I don't how closely they monitor the parking lot.

Re: Gun On Veterans Administration Property?

If it is a full-blown VA facility I don't bring a weapon anywhere near it. I leave it at home.
If it is a local clinic out in some township (for example, Conroe), I leave it in the car.

My recommendation: When in doubt, don't take a weapon.

Re: Gun On Veterans Administration Property?

The parking lot is Federal property in most cases (except for leased clinics and the like). I wouldn't take my weapon to a VA Hospital, but might leave it in a car at a local VA clinic (and I do).
