A manager at IAH was on TV a year or two ago saying that it was illegal to have "a gun" at the airport.

This is obviously false, not only in light of PC 30.06. It is completely legal under state and federal law to check weapons in baggage. To do so, you must bring them into the airport.

Hobby has no such signage. I haven't been to IAH for years. (I have come to loathe flying.)

If you trip over the dog and run into an ignorant cop, you are going to have problems. We have seen it many times in this forum.

PC 30.06 says that the law does not apply to premises owned (or leased) by a government body. In other words, a holder of a CHL cannot be charged with criminal trespass for having a handgun on city property.

The only places where a 30.06 sign is legally enforceable on government property are meetings and possibly hospitals owned by a government body.

The City of Houston got the memo on this years ago, when they were trying to prohibit carry by CHL holders in City Hall and the airports.

In any case, Jones Hall comes up on this forum about once a year, and no one has reported signage there.

Jones Hall is owned by the City of Houston.

Have a safe trip.
