I am not trying to argue with you, just trying to make sure everyone, my self especially, understands this mess.
That said, I'm not directly employed by said hospital, and knowing how everything else works their especially, I dont think there is a chance. I called them, talked to a receptionist, who said I couldn't, and then called back and talked to security and they said I can't as well.
I think that 30.06 Section E is the key
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a handgun is owned or leased by a goverment entity and is not a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibted from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that the last change to the Penal code (last year?) negates the automatic exclusion of hospitals from disallowed places to carry under subsection I of 46.035.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) Subsections (b)(4), (b)(5), (b)(6), and (c) do not apply if the actor was not given effective notice under Section 30.06.

Yes, the 30.06 E,
It seems like one says I can't carry their unless their is a 30.06 posted, while the other says I can't carry their if it is forbidden (which means a 30.06 is posted.)
That all of course assumes that I get CAUGHT carrying, which if I am doing it right, should never happen, but I don't want to, and can't afford to go to court just to prove .... UGH!
