, on these lines, I dont know if I should start a new thread, or continue this one

At the Pasadena Convention Center, a City owned venue, during the gun show (this weekend and every 4th weekend or so), they bring a sign in, place it on the table when you first walk in the door, before you give them your ticket.
A LEO is there to secure any weapons with zip ties so you can carry (openly) around the gun show, but they also verbally tell ask you if you have any CCW and if so, to un-conceal them.

This is a city owned venue, as stated above, but during events such as the gun show (or Tea Party) is it actually legal to post the 30.06 sign? and Enforce it?
No it is not enforceable, just like the GRB shows. Oddly, I dont believe the OC occurring there is legal either. However all parties seem ok with the current plan so whatever.
It might be necessary for insurance purposes and such, but no, I don't believe there's any argument for the enforceability of a 30.06 sign on any public property, regardless of who's renting it or for what purpose it's being engaged. A school being used after hours for a community movie night is still a school; a public convention center which is being rented by a private group is still a public convention center. No statute I can find provides for premises to be treated differently based on usage or timing.

I wouldn't mind starting a new thread for the OC-at-a-gun-show discussion, which ties in with "OC at a gun store" and the like. In fact, I think I'll do that!

Re: CHLs not welcome at Lone Star Tea Party!

Looked it up... it is indeed owned by the City of Grand Prairie, so the sign was invalid to start with. Just don't carry during a sporting event held at the park, and there's nothing else to fret. Incidentally, I hate it when government employees read enough of the law to get the true text of a 30.06 sign and then completely ignore the fact that public property can't be posted with it :banghead:
