The mission of the Capitol Police is to achieve a safe environment free of crime, to protect and serve employees and visitors while on state property, and to protect property and grounds throughout the Capitol Complex and at state office buildings in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Scranton. These services are accomplished by either bicycle patrol, foot patrol, K-9 patrol, or police vehicle patrol. It is the goal of the Capitol Police to provide to our customers the most effective service and protection within our means. It is important that the customers we serve have faith in us and be aware of all that the Capitol Police have to offer. It is the mission of the Capitol Police to perform these duties with integrity, diligence, compassion and professionalism and with the innovative use of technology.

Well, then, if they're so eager to crush crime on their own turf that they think they can forbid me to protect myself once I cross their threshold, then they can meet me on my stoop and drive my ass in so that I don't have to do it for myself at all.
I love how SEPTA doesn't want you carrying on their system, and how Philly discourages CC, and goes apeshit over OC, but yet SCOTUS has affirmed that the police have no duty to protect individuals. As it is, the Capitol Police on duty at 1400 Spring Garden seem to hide like cornered rats in their armored kiosk at the back of the lobby.
