I wasn't carrying my gun because I planned to have a few adult beverages.

So, I guess its safe to say that you should leave the gun in the car.

Was there any 51% or 30.06 notification?

30.06 wouldn't be enforceable as NRG park & stadium are county-owned & operated. At best, I'd say that 51% could apply to individual vendors but not to the entire event.

My thought, then, would be that you should not leave the gun in the car until notified otherwise. Just because they are using metal detectors doesn't mean they can prevent CHL from carrying.

I came from the land of OC/CC, and could do both so never had to worry about intentionally displaying. I'm asking this as I'd truly like to know, not as flame bait...but being newish to TX I've never encountered these situations. So with this one - you get there, no 30.06 posting but they have a metal detector. It does go off and they ask you what it is and/or to remove it. What then? Do you tell them what it is, or do you show your CHL and wink, do you lift your shirt, or what?
