Ed, Someone at TDSA just went through that. Yes, you may carry at the State Fair. When SB501 was signed into law, the City of Dallas could no longer restrict your right to carry at Fair Park. Do be aware that it is still illegal to carry at the sporting events. Here is a link that will help. //www.tdsa.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?s=6ca571b863fad2335b2734242ba43351;act=ST;f=8;t=69;st=0;&#entry5 mm |

Fair Park still meets the fenced amusement park criteria.

The amusement park criteria doesn't apply, because it's not in effect any more. An amusement park now has to post a 30.06 to ban carry (see PC §46.04i)
Anyway, it still might not apply, as the definition of "amusement park" says the park has to be in operation for at least 120 days a year, and be >75 acres. Does the state fair meet this? (I've never been.) |

Hi Ed
I don't know about the Science Museum, but I just went to the State Fair and they run a metal detector on all attendees. I don't recall seeing a 30.06 sign (doesn't mean there isn't one there). Am interested to hear if anyone actually carried a concealed handgun in to the park. (By the way, I'll have to link up with you again at CCGR as I installed a Bushy NM two stage trigger. I think yours still works better but I'd like to compare) Best- Neil. |

Daugherty - had word that some of the supervisors were less than well informed of the new policy...expect about 5-10 minutes of delay as they try to figure out what to do with you (worse case scenario).
It may be better by now as most supervisors have been educated as to how to handle the situation vs. earlier results. |

I know it's late for this year's fair, but thanks for that email. I'll be strapped next year.
