Yes, curious about that statement but very interesting to see this. I hope that this might be that in view of recent events this might be the start of folks waking up to the realization that having armed, law-abiding CHL holders carrying at the games could make the difference between life and death -- if not today, probably some day. The down side is that there will certainly be a decline in the consumption of alcohol at the game!tk1700 wrote:"The National Fraternal Order of Police, the nation’s largest police union, has written a letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell requesting that he reconsider the league’s ban on concealed carry in its stadiums."
"Currently, only the Houston Texans and Dallas Cowboys’ have been granted an exemption from the ban — the NFL concluded that Texas state law overruled the league’s policy..."

The FOP makes some good points and I agree with their request. Many posts on the forum echo exactly what the FOP is pointing out.
One error I see though is the exemption granted to the Texans and Cowboys. I haven't attended any Texan or Cowboy games so I don't what signs are up at the stadiums, but since they are professional sporting events I had just assumed they were off limits for CHL carry. It will be interesting to see the NFL response.
