It is obvious ticket sales are way more than 51% of alcohol sales at the location, but since they have someone else come in to sell alcohol, and that someone else only sells alcohol, that vendor gets to specify the gun sign for the entire building. It wouldn’t be so bad if the bar areas were posted, but TABC doesn’t do it that way.
I would like to see this fixed in future legislative sessions, but I would like to see all 51% signs become meaningless, carrying while intoxicated should be a crime, carrying where intoxicants are served should not matter, regardless the percent of alcohol revenue generated at the location. I have been to Bass Hall for concerts and plays, and it is a wonderful venue, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra is outstanding, and at no time did I drink any alcohol nor did I see anyone who appeared to be intoxicated.
Silly rule, with even sillier loopholes to keep out the CHL crowd.
... with every word you wrote.
This use of 51% rules goes beyond the intent of the law
