There is an exception to the no guns rule that allows concealed carry at the
Brown Convention Center with a Texas C.H.L.

Sec. 30.06. (e) It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity

Didn't the convention center or hotel try to prohibit a CHL from carrying and the NRA threatened to cancel and move the event unless they backed off and allowed it? It seems like I remember hearing about something like that.

[srothstein]

I don't recall the reason for the change, but the convention center rules now have the CHL exception written into them, as per the OP's link.

I thought I remembered reading something about this last year. Charles mentioned something about it on page 2, here.

I've been thinking about going to this. I've only been an active shooter/gun owner for the last year and a half and member of NRA for a year. Why should I, a non-instuctor, urban-gun enthusuiast, attend this event? I live in San Antonio so the drive is not far. I like visiting Houston and support the NRA. My biggest question is what is there to interest me? I am saving for a couple new guns. Don't know if I should spend the money to go or just save it for the guns.

Thanks for your opinions/advice.

I've already scheduled 2 vacation days and told my wife to expect me to be essentially gone for 4 days. Looking forward to this!

That exception is state law. GRB is government owned land.
