So this is not a CCH or gun control issue, no matter how badly some want it to be.

It's a federal law.

The interesting part is that the law doesn't override private property owners' rights to ban guns on their property. But then, technically, they could also ban active duty, uniformed cops from carrying on their property if they wanted to. They can ask anyone to leave for any reason and you're trespassing if you refuse. Otherwise, I've never heard of a case of anyone being prosecuted for ignoring a no guns sign.
