Return to “Bingo Halls and CHL”

It may not be now that I think about it, which just goes to show you that the government continually thinks they know what's best for you. (I've been reading a Neal Boortz book so I'm on a personal liberty streak right now)

I see nothing in the law about that particular establishment. And the owner WILL NOT post signs. CHL's are welcome as far as the owner is concerned.
The police officer is incorrect. There is nothing under PC 46.03 or 46.035 that prohibits weapons on the premises of a building where bingo is taking place. As long as the building is not posted 30.06 or 51% you are fine to carry.
Now be careful if you ever go to a place in Texas where a professional card game is taking place, such as poker. That could easily fall under the blanket of a "Professional sporting event", which would not be ok to carry at.
Edit: Some people say a professional poker game would not be considered a professional sporting event. I would personally still be careful though.
