DFW Channel 4 just ran a live story on the Convention. Said guns are banned at convention due to Mike Pence. The stupid is strong.

That's funny. I told my wife the same thing using almost the exact same language.

"bubble-headed-bleach-blond" repeated it again @530 "with a gleam in her eye". I am surprised nobody called in to correct. Good. Let them believe. The Henley lyrics fit exactly.

The only place that weapons guns and knives are banned is the leadership conference where VP Pence is speaking Friday morning. Your tickets to the conference state 'no weapons allowed' due to the VP speaking.

You can open or concealed carry any place else in the convention center.

Just had an idea to deal with the protesters: Take the dozen or so extra A2 grips I have laying around and spread them over the streets around the convention center.  The libtards will be so afraid of the "assault grips" they will run away.

Maybe yours does.

Mine has no mention of any firearm policy. NRA has still not updated the website to reflect the Pence Exclusion Zone.

It's been just over a year since I was last home. What's the I-35/I-45/I-30 situation like now? Last I knew, there was still construction going on through there.

Have caught up on this thread.  Plan to be OCing my red, white, & blue Lego gripped 1911, and will try to take the Trinity Railway Express to Dallas on Friday.  Plan to be there Saturday as well to vote for our fellow ARFCOMer.  Don't know about Sunday, figger I may have walked off my feet by then.

As I catch updates I'll post em in my gunshow thread as well.

So we can carry, just not go to politician speechmaking?

Hmmm, good reason to OC on TRE, or chance to wave Lego prototype bump-stock @ President?

That’s my understanding.  Carry is still ok, just not at that event.

Luckily Mesquite ain't ghetto enough for DART, so he'll have to drive elsewhere to a station.  Maybe a station in Garland or Rowlett instead of venturing into Dallas by car (in the daytime).

Trinity Hall is an Irish pub, whiskey, wine & beer, smoking on the patio (Dallas is non-smoking inside), and just off DART's Mockingbird rail station w/ plenty of parking.

Live Irish music Friday, Saturday, & Sunday:  http://www.trinityhall.tv/music.  Due to the whiskey, carry (CC or OC) is not permitted, nor are knives over 5.5".

Adam Kraut is an active member here who goes by the name SuperMoose. IIRC he is a lawyer and if we could get him and a few more like him on the board they could maybe prod the NRA to being more activist in promoting gun rights instead of just playing defense.

There are specific voting hours.  At work right now, don't have them at my fingertips. Adam has posted about it on facebook and has a tacked thread at the top of GD.  But present your membership, get your ballot, vote.  Your membership will be verified when you get your annual meeting credential to get in.

You're over off the I-30 frontage road?   Mesquite has it's issues, but still better than Dallas any day of the week.  You have quite a few apartments near you do keep your head up.

Depends on what part of Mesquite.  Not sure which Marriott you're in, but the two I know about are pretty close to major highways.  Don't leave anything in your car.  Otherwise, you'll be fine.
