Noted. One of the long-time deputies is a fried of mine, and running for elections this year. I let him post a sign in my yard and helped him a little with the campaigning. Looking into this may be a way he could repay me!

The open public area of a police department is OK to carry as long as there is not a court room in there. The secured area of a police station (meaning an area where there might be a holding cell, etc.) would be off limits per the statutes.

Strange... I walked up to my Sheriff office the other day going to drop off some paperwork and saw a 30.06 sign. This was posted on all entrances that I saw... and they were enforceable as far as literature/size/etc.

If they have something in there that is otherwise statutorily off-limits, then the 30.06 would be valid (not needed, but valid). Otherwise, they are posted incorrectly. What county?

This will be Tom Green County, San Angelo, TX.

I edited my previous post, but you beat me to it. There are no other entities or anything else in the building. I will try and make it up there later this afternoon and make sure.

Edited to add: I checked, and the sheriff's office is used for that reason alone-to house sheriffs and things related to it. The city jail is in another seperate bldg, and the court is also in a different bldg.
