Re: Carrying at the Dallas Safari Club Convention?

How they explained it seems valid to me:
1) Weapons of any kind are not allowed at collegiate, religious, or high school events pursuant to Texas Penal Code (§46.03 & §46.035)

That's valid. The only question in my mind is the "religious" event restriction.
#1 implies that if the circumstances are other than #1 that weapons are allowed, which seems fair..



2) Event organizers may further restrict weapons based upon their association’s/ organization’s rules and regulations.

Their event, their rules.. Can't the event organizer ask anyone to leave who violates the rules of a property that they have control of? IE - you decide stage a KKK rally inside they can force you to leave. They have the right to ask anyone to leave for any reason that they see fit. It'd be a more appropriate action to post a "no guns" sign - but there is no requirement for that.


Posting 30.06 where it is invalid is not illegal. In fact, part of the problem is that posting it incorrectly is not enforceable at all. Nothing you can do about it other than complain to some city attorney that may or may not choose to take action. It just muddies the water for law enforcement and they're probably protected if they arrest on it. I know it's not going to result in a conviction, but the presence of that magic sign makes me nervous enough about what a LEO might do that I won't carry past them... Maybe you're a little tougher than I am.
