Yup, thats right. They actually had it right. Not a single 30.06 sign anywhere. I was very happy.

The wife ended up choosing a Walther P22. We went to the range right after, and she fell in love with it.

If you go in loaded, they will keep your loaded mags at their desk as all ammo has to be in a "box".
An "honest CHL'er" knows what the "C" means. I'm not required to admit anything to them unless they ask for ID.

Oh I know. I was going on the assumption that illegal searches were taking place and I was "made".

I guess I'll just walk up and look for such acts taking place and decide then and there based on the situation.

PC30.06 does not apply if the property is owned by a government entity, regardless of who is leasing it from said government entity. If I owned a home that was zoned by the city forbidding a home day-care, for example, and I leased it to someone else, they could not run a home day-care, because the zoning laws still apply to them as the lessee. A lessee cannot gain rights/priviledges not given to the owner.

I would bet the show will be posted, because, as RPBrown stated, the show's insurance carrier will require it. The signs should be meaningless because the property is owned by the city, but don't expect the LEO's to know/understand/care about that. If you decide to try to carry, and are made, expect to be hassled tremendously, at the least. If you're arrested, you'll likely win in court, but at what cost?
As much as I would love to be the test case for this, I really want to see the show. After throwing a fit and citing all of the laws I can think of to support my claim, I would probably be denied admittance altogether even sans firearm.

Oh well, what can ya do :???:

Will the Fort Worth Gun Show be posted???

I was reviewing their site and noticed this line:
"The exhibit hall is a City owned facility..."
from this page:
http://www.fwgunshow.com/mapsdirections.html

City owned means they can't post 30.06, right?

Is Will Rogers' Memorial Center actually owned by the city of Fort Worth?
Their downloadable rules state, "No concealed handguns", but its a far cry from 30.06 wording.

I am thinking about going this weekend and maybe taking the wife to look for a little .22 plinker for her. I'm really curious about this, since most gun shows are posted.

Does anyone know for sure?

P.S. Oh, and if anyone else is thinking about going, don't forget to print your coupon :razz:
