am i reading this correct? Does the law quote above mean that no matter what a sign must be posted? Does it have to be the 30.06 sign or is there other signs that can be used in a federal facility?

these dump truck drivers are paid with my money by he hour, if you annoy the guard shack attendant they tend to spend a little longer searching you vehicle.

Everyday we walk right past the "no guns" sign and dont think twice because it is not the 30.06, a Post Office, a church, a dr's office, or the other few places we can not carry that are not required to have the 30.06 sign.

They should have to have a signup that says it is federal property, I know ignorance is no excuse but there is not indication that this is a federal site.

We are the general contractor and i have to work with these people on a daily basis, mine has never been through the gate but i have been tempted because the sign is pretty crappy and if you did not know the coast guard had any involvement you would think this site is ran by the county.

I will relay the message to my subcontractor and let him make his own decision on if he wants to lose his license. His thoughts are the same as mine but i just cant afford to take a chance with mine. I like my Job and my CHL...

I am a project manager for a construction company in Beaumont. We were awarded a contract to rebuilt a roadway at the Port Of Orange. At the entrance to this project there is a sign that says what is NOT allowed on the premises. Weapons is one of the items the sign says is not allowed.

To me it is not a big enough issue to worry about, When I visit the jobsite i leave my gun at my buddies house right up the street. Although I have a contractor that would like to work on this jobsite but he and all of his dump truck operators have their CHL and do not want to have to leave their weapons at home. I told him to call the Port to get more information. He chose to email. The email is below. Does Texas CHl laws apply here?

Good Morning Mr. XXXXXX,

The Port of Orange is a U. S. Coast Guard (U.S.C.G.) regulated facility and the Port’s Facility Security Plan (FSP) states in part “Dangerous weapons, devices and substances authorized by the owner will be kept in secure areas of the facility.” The port does not consider a vehicle to be a “secure area” for weapon storage. All weapons must be declared and properly secured in lock boxes within our Command/Control Center.

Our FSP is labeled as “Sensitive Security Information” and further states that the written plan is OUOTE: “Sensitive Security Information that is controlled under 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520. No part of this record may be disclosed to persons without a “need to know”, as defined in 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520, except with the written permission of the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration or Secretary of Transportation. Unauthorized release may result in civil penalty or other action. For U.S. Government agencies, public disclosure is governed by 5 U.S.C. 55.2 and 49 CFR parts 15 and 1520.

Mr. XXXXX,

I operate a dirt hauling company and myself and all of my dump truck operators have the Texas concealed handgun license and I wanted to get clarification on the the "no weapons" sign you have posted at your Alabama Street Terminal. Under Texas law I can not find and literature that addresses Coat Guard regulated facilities.

Can a valid license holder carry a concealed firearm on these premises? If not please respond with more information on this subject.

Thanks
