US Department of Agriculture Service Centers and Farm Service Agency offices are off-limits for firearms, a USDA press release said.


The announcement served as a reminder to all customers and patrons of USDA Farm Service Agency offices and USDA Service Centers statewide that firearms are forbidden (even with a permit/license) in federal buildings defined as any building owned, leased or rented by the federal government, where federal employees are regularly present for the purpose of performing their official duties.

The items that are prohibited in federal facilities include any item prohibited by any applicable Federal, State, local, and tribal law and/or ordinance, as well as firearms, dangerous weapons, explosives, or other destructive devices (including their individual parts or components) designed, redesigned, used, intended for use, or readily converted to cause injury, death, or property damage.

Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in federal facilities as outlined above is a crime punishable by fines and imprisonment.

For a complete list of items prohibited in federal facilities, please see the document titled, Items Prohibited from Federal Facilities: An Interagency Security Committee Standard at www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/isc-items-prohibited-federal-facilities-feb-2013-508.pdf.

The lists of prohibited items outlined in that document apply to all facility occupants, contractors, and the visiting public.

For questions or concerns regarding this notification, contact your local Farm Service Agency office–http://offices.usda.gov.
