OK, here's the sign at Love Field.

It is NOT posted on every entry, it makes improper reference to the law, and if you are in a hurry it may not be real visible (I had to stand at an angle to make the pic work.)



After this Wright Amendment flap calms down, I will go on a new letter writing campaign. I figure, if nothing else, that the City of Dallas has pretty much acknowledged that the airport is city property, and that would make a good case for pre-emption.

Well, I took the pic of the Love Field sign, and of course I didn't bring the cable to don load it with me. And my stay has changed from coming back tonight to coming back tomorrow (I'm glad I packed socks, underwear, toothpaste, and a razor) so I won't be able to show it until tomorrow night sometime.

Why not? Missouri recognizes the Texas CHL.

Should have added; "for just one day, nothing but carry on bags,"

Quick turnaround, it's too much of a hassle to have to check a bag.

Actually DPS has to get escorted in, either by TSA or DPD, and "certain" TSA personnel do carry "back there."

I am flying out through Love Field tomorrow, unfortunately to MO, so I won't be taking a gun, but I will have a camera so I will try to remember to get new pics of Love's interesting signage.

I was referring to the DPS officers who work at the airport for the most part. Them, FAMs, and other federal agents are the main ones who tend to carry in the secure side.

However, unless you work the airport on a regular basis, I do believe you are correct in needing to be escorted or cleared all the same.

I worked at Love Field for three years, there are no DPS personnel assigned there, just DPD.

The signs at Dallas Love Field reference 30.05 and claim that it applies to CHL holders. I have discussed the issue with several LEOs that work at Love (I worked there for three years) and most of the LEOs at least tacitly agree that the signs mean nothing.

I have a picture of the sign somewhere around, it's really kind of funny.

The baggage claim area doors do not have the signs, but most of the sidewalk level entrances do, and the entances from the parking garages do not.

I wrote a letter about the signs a long while back, addressed to the city, Laura Miller, and the city council, but never received a reply.
