Hello,
To the best of our knowledge, there is no legal provision in the Schengen regulations that prevents Consulates within the Schengen area from issuing a Schengen visa.
However, in practice, it appears that these Consulates do not issue such visa, therefore obliging travellers to apply outside the Schengen area, in their home country for instance.
Regards.
