Is the Civic Center owned by the county or city?
I didn't vote for Obama.
Somebody else did that.

I will be attending the FW show and the Mesquite rodeo show.
It will be my 11th show since Thanksgiving. I may have a problem. Is there a support group?

I just received a confirmation email from the local authority/promoter for the Wichita Falls Gun Show. The dates listed are incorrect. The correct dates are May 25-26.

Bringing back a not too old thread because I couldn't find anything more recent about the Lewisville gun show at the Event Center.

Did anyone every find out or do we know who owns the location where it is currently held? It has been posted with 30.06 signs in the past couple years and am fairly certain it will be this weekend. However, this might be the first time it's been back this year and since there has been some rulings on the law forbidding posting signs at government owned locations.

I will be going tomorrow and probably will not carry because I think it is a privately owned strip mall. Just curious if it really is or not.

Looks like it's owned by a private company...121 Plaza, Ltd. SO I guess if they post, no carry.
