Wife and I went to see Michael Buble at Dickie's Arena in FTW last night. Checking the TABC website, it shows that the location is "Gun Sign: Red", because the entity that holds the liquor permit gets more than 51% of their revenue from alcohol sales.
It would be GREAT to fix this. We all know that "Dickie's Arena" as a whole is not >51%. Why would some sub-entity be allowed to make the whole place off limits to carry? Same issue at Bass Hall and plenty of other places.
The City of FTW owns the arena, but licensed carry is off-limits because of the way the site is permitted for liquor sales. Totally wrong!
If you want to reduce the number of stolen guns, don't make me have to leave mine in the car in the Arena parking lot.
I should be able to carry into government owned property, past the metal detectors, just like at the State Capitol.
