The Texas3006.com web site also says the signs are invalid. Who do we need to contact to get them to obey the law? It burns me up. If a place is legally posted, okay. That's the law. But it irritates me to no end when municipalities blatantly disregard the law.

The Texas AG has said, that when a public building is leased to a private firm, the firm can legally post. It hasn't been tried in court (good luck on becoming the first case), but that's the AG's written opinion.

I think the same AG opinion also states that while the private firm can post the signs (or at least they can't be penalized if they do), the signs are not enforceable since it's city-owned property.

Maybe not criminally enforceable, but it will be hard to get past a metal detector...

And how many gun shows have we all been to that have metal detectors...? 0 for me. :

And if they do have metal detectors, then carry in a gun for sale along with some metal magazines, and ammo, in addition to your CCW. Or let them clear and zip-tie your CCW, then go into the bathroom, cut the tie, reload and reholster your CCW. Simple.

Or just don't go. You can probably get better prices and a better selection online anyway. After all, we are talking about people who are not only against your civil rights, but who are also lying to you by posting a sign with what they know to be incorrect info about the law (since contrary to what their sign says, section 30.06 / 30.07 does NOT prohibit you from legally carrying there). What else are they lying to you about?
