They had a 30.06 sign posted. And while a city owned building can't be posted, it is unclear if a private venue leasing the facility can post and enforce a 30.06 at the city owned facility.

My view in this case is if the facility staff were the ones that were performing the security, then they are city employees by virtue of the facility being a city owned building, so they can't enforce a 30.06. Now, i don't want to be the test case in court, but that would be my argument for defense.

I agree. The logic seems sound. However, the female DPS atty over CHL does not agree. I went a few rounds with her last Fall over this
very topic (State Fair, city owned facility etc). If you'd like a truly unique experience...... contact her and ask her to explain...... if you are able to get a word in edge-wise, and understand HER reasoning...... you're a better man than I.

Was the guy in the dark suit wearing some type of ID badge? Did you ask HIM for ID etc. prior to just pulling up your shirt etc. ?

I did not personally attend the Frisco gun show or the Allen gun show. However I have friends that went to both shows and both shows seemed to have problems. Frisco, the second floor area was too dark, the vendors brought their own lights which caused the breakers to continually trip.... the admission charge of $8 was for a individual, but, if the individual brought a gun to sell on the floor he was charged an additional $10. My friends walked away. The Allen show was too small, not worth going etc. Labrat1001001, sorry to hear about your encounter with rude guy.
I believe there is a Market Hall gun show this coming week end (Aug 21 & 22). I usually make a few Market Hall shows every year. Never had a "rude" experience at one. Maybe try your luck there.
