But "prohibited" and "posted" are 2 different things. Not trying to be agrumentative here, just to get infomred. I'm wondering if I should just leave it in the car to be on the safe side. This would be one of those few instances in life when it would NOT be better to ask forgiveness instead of permission.

But keep in mind that Ellington Field is also a Military installation as well as having sevral NASA applications.

I may have just answered my own question:

"In a secure area......"

A tarmac would be considered secure from all that I have seen.
Anyways...any thoughts or experiences my help.

Since my wife and I frequent MANY events in and around Houston, it seems most of my questions are realted to what experiences others have had at certain events relating to carrying. This is no different:

Do FAA restrictions preside over the Wings over Houston Airshow? We are not on a plane and surely not in a concourse, but we WILL be on a runway? Not sure what kind of category this falls under and the "restrictions page" on their website does not specifically mention firearms being a NO-NO but it DOES state that full FAA regulations are in force along with Homeland Security regulations. From years past, there are no metal detectors, but plenty of security and bag checking going on and I've never noticed any 30.06 postings. Anyone ever carried into this event or know how being on a tarmac can differ from being inside a concourse or other secure area. Thanks in advance.
