I would agree, but only as far as to agree that Pasadena Convention Center, George R Brown, etc, are all posted 30.06 during Gun Shows, and are publicly owned.... legal? No, do i want to be the test case? No.

The last time I went to the Livestock show portion, has been a number of years, and the livestock show, I believe, was around or even inside the Astrodome, while the Rodeo/Concert was in Reliant Stadium.
If this is still the case, or even if the Livestock show is inside Reliant Park (not the stadium portion through the ticket scanners), then yes, you are legal to carry.
You can also carry at the carnival, however, I would be leery of any rides that may dislocate your weapon

very true, however the livestock show is not inside the ticket line at Reliant.
The concert is inside and on your ticket stub it states Rodeo and Concert

Ameer wrote:What if you had a ticket to the rodeo but were on the event grounds at the livestock show?

if you are not caught inside the ticket scanners with a weapon, then you are fine, the livestock show is not a professional sporting event

jamisjockey wrote:But what do you consider a "sporting" event?

That is the best question I have read in a long time (no sarcasm).
How is sporting event defined and what is / is not a sporting event.

In my eyes, I would say the following (and probably more will come to mind) and all of the below should say "Professional" in front of them
Baseball
Football
Soccer
Golf
Bowling
Basketball
Hockey

Professional in the most common meaning (and no, I am not here to say that the law uses what is common) is if a person gets paid for winning at a sport type event.
Just look at NCAA Rules, they are even more strict, a person cannot be paid in money or gifts or other tangible items in lieu of money for any sport type event.
Basketball players, once they get paid, lose NCAA eligibility, football, etc etc.

I think the evidence in itself is the ticket stub.
It states Rodeo and Concert, so the ticket holder (or person who lost their ticket stub but is inside the ticket scanners) is expected to be there for the concert

I wouldn't want to be the test case, would you?

hirundo82 wrote:the venue wouldn't be off limits at the time the concert

True, but as others have said below, the concert and rodeo are tied on one ticket.
But even if you 'could' carry during the concert, if a LEO saw your weapon, could you PROVE you were not there for the Rodeo? And would it be worth the ride?

At the carnival, or BBQ, there is no legal restriction. (I am not saying that they are not 30.06, but as a general legality, a CHL is legal to carry there)
However, - if you go inside (through the ticket line into Reliant Stadium for the Concert/Rodeo (even if you only go for the Concert), it is OFF LIMITS as it is a professional sporting event.
