I'm still waiting to hear this from someone who actually underwrites insurance or see it in writing on an insurance plan.

Its the excuse most of my previous employers have used, and yet I have extreme doubts about how truthful that is. If they can't show me a piece of paper saying 'this insurance is based on the exclusion of legally owned firearms from your property', then I will absolutely never believe it. That like a rental insurance agreement stipulating no candles may be used in the building... It doesn't exist.

You'll never see that paper...

Looks like that's starting to happen in the typical fashion of defenses and exceptions being added. 46.02, 46.03, and the prohibited places in 46.035 now seem to have an exception for "volunteer emergency services personnel" engaged in providing emergency services. I've been meaning to ask more about that from people who will know better than me. But "engaged in providing emergency services" seems a little vague - I think everyone would agree that an EMT responding to a call meets that, but what about a volunteer firefighter carrying a pager and ready to answer a call? Is ready standby not providing an emergency service?

Conveniently, 30.06 and 30.07 defenses for being volunteer emergency services personnel, with no requirement to be providing emergency services. I suppose you'd meet that qualification if you signed up with https://texasdisastervolunteerregistry.org/ (and, probably, staying "active" in the program).

I'm not going to recommend anyone go and test that because I'm rambling about it though.
