This is a stupid question, just making sure I've got the bases covered. Here's what I've printed on a laminated card for my wallet - sound complete for State restrictions? I realize Federal property follows different rules:
Don’t carry, section 46.03, third degree felony:
• Public or private school premises or at a school function
• Premises of polling place
• Premises of court or court offices
• Premises of a racetrack
• Secured area of airport
• Within 1,000 feet of an execution (with notice) unless in car
Don’t carry, section 46.035, Class A misdemeanor:
• Premises where 51% of income comes from on-site consumption
• Premises of sporting event
• Premises of correctional facility
• Premises of hospital or nursing home (if posted 30.06)
• Amusement park (if posted 30.06)
o County > 1 million
o 75 acres or more
o Access through controlled entries
o Open more than 120 days a year
o Full time security guards
o Does not include driveways or parking areas
• Premises of a church (if posted 30.06)
• Meeting of a government entity (if posted 30.06)
• Intoxicated
It's my understanding that premises is a building or portion of a building - but which applies? If I'm in the County Courthouse, but not in any of the courtrooms or court offices, I'm in the building. I'm not in the portion of the building used by courts, but I am in fact in the building. I think I can lawfully carry - but I'm queasy about my assumption.
Also, I occasionally visit our local police station, not as a customer or anything, as well as the Sheriff's office - it's cool to carry there, too, isn't it? Not that I feel the need, I just don't like to fiddle with disarming where not really required to do so.
