Re: Denton Air Show

I spoke with an official of the air show later today and she made a mistake when she spoke to the newspaper. She meant to say "no weapons". They are discouraging knives, etc. but are not infringing on the CHL rights. It never hurts to check but I believe all is well.

Thanks, Quinn

Denton Air Show

The Denton Air Show is this coming Saturday, June 20th. The Denton Record Chronicle and the air show web site state "no firearms". I have sent a letter to the editor of the paper which will be printed Tuesday. I have also sent email to the firm putting on the air show and ask them why they are prohibiting law-abiding CHL holders from attending the show. In that same email I asked them for the authority they are citing to prohibit firearms.

Oh, by the way, they are serving alcoholic beverages at the air show. No moral problem there but a lot more people are killed on the highway by irresponsible drivers after they drink than CHL holders at air shows.

Question: I don't believe the airport is private property. Do they have the authority to install metal detectors and prevent firearms at the air show?

Thanks, Quinn
