I'm waiting for my plastic and while doing so I've been reading as much as possible, learning the laws and thinking of what ifs and what to dos. So this topic has come to mind so I'd like to see what others think. But here's my personal issue that I'd like to see off the list:
Pro Sporting events:
I live around Dallas in Plano and often take the DART to see the Stars. While I don't feel "unsafe" doing it I would choose those trips as a prime take my gun a long kinda trip. I'm actually leaning more to the take it always no matter the trip after being on here and other boards but that too gets me to this point. Anyway so lets say I have it and now have to leave it. Where is it left? In the car. Now this puts me in a bad spot I know that criminals that want guns can just look at the AAC schedule and then hit all the dart parking lots KNOWING 2 things... 1 there is a decent chance there are guns in the cars, maybe even a better chance than just a normal day, but he also knows... 2 I don't have my gun with my while approaching my car he's sitting in. Sure I could just drive down there but it's the exact same issue.
Now if I can take my gun a long with me to a concert at the AAC, what makes going to see the Stars so different? Yeah I can hear the oposistion saying... people's emotions are up at sporting events yada yada yada but really I don't think CHLers are the type to take sporting events to the extreme and start shooting the players or the others sitting near him. Yes they serve drinks there, is it more that 51%? If so I could see that point being the final ruling, but I don't think it is. If they don't make 51% then it's just like going to your local steak house, if your carrying your not drinking.
Other thoughts?
