My state fair experience was interesting but good. I am really glad they welcome carriers there. My girlfriend and I rode the Dart. Of coarse, she left the paper that I had all of the buses that we needed to take in the car. So some how we ended up in the middle of down town Dallas in some bus station with some pretty interesting people..... Lets just say I was glad I was carrying because two different times two different people that were clearly on drugs were hitting on my girlfriend, and one tried to snatch her purse. I am just thankful nothing got to the point that I had to pull it, but it was a nice security blanket.

Anyways when I got to the fair, I was unsure of the CHL polices. I asked both of the security people with the wands what I needed to do if I had a "CHL" and neither of them knew what a "CHL" was. I went to the ticket booth, and asked the lady selling tickets what I needed to do if I have a CHL. She also had no clue what a CHL was, and told me to go ask the police officer..... who was sitting in a booth.... about 50 feet behind the gates. I just knew at this point we were going to have a fantastic day, because I did not feel like riding the dart buses and then (if I ever found it) the dart rail for another hour and a half to just put my gun up.

So I went walking to find another entrance, and luckily found a cop. I informed him of my situation, and he told me to walk up to them with my license out. I returned to them as they shook their heads whispering "here comes that weird guy again." I showed them my license. They examended it, and said that I can go in, but I needed to also show my license to the cop who was at that booth I mentioned earlier. I walked up the the cop and showed it to him. He looked at me like I was an idiot. I told him that security told me that I needed to show him that. He said ok and pretty much blew me off. I finally I was in.
