  • State Fair, Can I carry?

    Going to state fair tonight.

    30-06 signs?
    They sweep everyone with a metal detector, just tell them I have a hcl and show them my ID?

    Weapons and sharp metal objects, such as pocket knives, scissors and the like, are not allowed. The State of Texas does allow a person holding a valid concealed handgun license to enter into Fair Park with a concealed handgun. However, during the State Fair of Texas and some other special events, licenses will be examined at the entrance by an authorized security supervisor. In accordance with Texas laws that protect "premises where a high school, collegiate or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place," handguns are never permitted inside the Cotton Bowl.

      No, you better tell them you have a CHL.

        discreetly let the gate person(not ticket booth person) know you have a ccw, if it's the same as a few years ago, they'll take you aside and have you fill out a form of some sort.

          I carry in my right cargo shorts pocket, and their metal detectors have never gone off. I handed them my chl the first couple off times, now I walk right in.

              Hope it goes smooth for you. I'm planning on carrying my 1911 with me when I go.

                  You have to check in similar to how you do at the capital building. They check your information and then let you go by. I use the CHL line either way. Prevents going through the detectors.

                        Told and showed my CHL to the gate attendant. She yells loudly to the "supervisor" on the bench about 20 feet away that I have a CHL.
                        Supervisor walks me over to the cop sitting in the stand. Hand her my DL and CHL, she writes down some info, asks me if my gun is secured, hands me my licenses back and says have a nice time.

                        Pretty easy except for the gate attendant yelling out I have a CHL...

                          Sidenote... How do you like that 42? I got my wife a Sig P238 and I can't think of a better small gun.

                            Didn't someone on the old site shoot someone when they were trying to carjack them at the state fair?

                              denny..i havent shot the P238 yet(its one im looking into). but i shot a buddies Glock 42 and it was a very sweet gun. the first glock i actually liked. i prefer my springfield XD to glock normally. but the 42 was very light, easy on the recoil and shot well. surprisingly louder than i had imagined it would be LOL
