Exactly right, sorry op, didn't catch the fact that you were referring to signage on a gvmt building. Also no signage required at a establishment where alcohol is sold and allowed to be served, dr's offices, medical bldgs.....buncha frigging exclusions, it's almost to the point of is it really worth having a CWP...mark_b said:Even though the sign does not appear to meet the regulations, CCW does not allow you to carry in various government offices or buildings. I do not think that these areas require signs like other areas do.
This is covered in the link above, Section 23-31-215 - paragraph M, number 5
(M) A permit issued pursuant to this section does not authorize a permit holder to carry a concealable weapon into a:
(5) office of or the business meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special purpose district;
