Ammo is more expensive than Academy or even Gander Mountain, Too many trinket and bead vendors and most gun prices are above those on-line or at many retail establishments. Best reason to go is to fondle and price compare.
Thanks for the info. I was mainly going to see if it was posted.

On a side note, I've been trying to send you PMs but they are staying in my outbox for some reason. Don't know if you remember telling me to hit you up once I finally got stationed in Hood to get my HL class, seeing as I only have a TN resident permit right now.

- I buy a ticket and I walk up with my CC handgun, concealed & loaded, say in my waistband at 6 o'clock.
- Do they wand people going in? If they alert do they make you unload and zip tie? Who? Event staff?
- OK I refuse, citing my LTC and begin to walk in.

Is it a Bell County Deputy or local LEO enforcing the policy? He/she arrests me? For what? Not 30.05, 30.06, or 30.07...they specifically don't apply. Do they block my path to enter? Detain me? On what grounds?

Does event staff physically restrain me from entering? In the presence of a LEO? Is that assault? Do I have a civil cause of action against the event for preventing my lawful entry to publicly owned property?

Yeah exactly their claim of a private event private rules does not apply to LTC as per 30.06(e) It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a concealed handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity and is not a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035.

I'm going to email them about this and see their response.
Did you get a response? I just moved to the area and plan on going to the gun show at the expo center in May.
