So under 46.03, no one can carry a gun on a school, in a polling place, in a court room, at a racetrack, in a secured airport area, or within 1000 feet of the execution chamber on certain days. This, of course, is a simplified statement and there are exceptions to these rules I am not mentioning.

46.035 has nothing to do with these areas, and covers where a person with an LTC may not carry. It only applies to people carrying under the authority of the lTC, and in some case, only if the listed place also posts appropriate 30.06/30.07 notice.

So, your specific question about an amusement park is answered as you can carry there unless they post notice. The trick here is remembering what the definition of an amusement park is, and it may not always bee what you think. IIRC, the Ft. Worth Zoo is an amusement park according to the AG. It is more than 75 acres, is open more than 120 days per year, and has one ride that is an amusement ride (a train that goes around the zoo). I might have the wrong zoo, but I think it was Ft. Worth that answered that way when someone complained about the illegal posting of 30.06 notices.

I think it was the Dallas Zoo that was considered am amusement park. Fort Worth Zoo I believe tried to classify themselves as a child care facility. IIRC

paragraph (f) states..."Except as provided by Subsection (e-1), it is not a defense to prosecution under this section that the actor possessed a handgun and was licensed to carry a handgun under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code."

That states that, except for (e-1), having an LTC license is not a defense. Ok. What about, say, an ammusment park? Under 46.035 carrying is allowed if not notified. One could carry in an ammusement part (if not notified) under 46.035 but be in violatin of 46.03. How do we reconcile those two?
