Is it legal to CC in the DMV? I have to make a trip to the dreaded DMV branch today & would like to know, before I go, if it's legal to carry my firearm concealed inside the building.
What say you?

It's not a federal facility, so unless posted at the door, I see no reason why you can't carry there. (IANAL!)

It's a state facility, think pre-emption. It's not specifically listed in the state laws as a no CC location so yes you can CC.

You can even OC there if you want.

... was at DMV today (Fair Oaks branch located in Mall), saw no signs prohibiting at the DMV - was so happy to have gotten in/out in 20mins, didn't look for signs on Mall entrances - you have to travel thru Mall to get to DMV location in Fair Oaks.

The DMV I use is in the Pentagon. Can I carry there and claim pre-emption...

Try it and let us know.
On a more serious note I would use that one but I'm a little incapacitaed at the moment, read out of work with an injury. Too much walking in that building, especially from North Parking. maybe I'll see you around there sometime, when I go back.

The one in the Pentagon? Hardly ever more than a 5-10 minute wait there for me. Its over around 2C1049 I think unless they moved it during this last bit of renovation.

Now that I think about it, my last trip to the DMV in Woodbridge was too get my son a "Walker's ID" for football And my wife informed me of a "NO Firearms" sign. I remember returning to my vehicle to stash my weapon.
