Re: Dallas Zoo
I was the one that originally bumped this 4 year old thread and this is the position I have decided to take. Concealed is concealed... if I am somehow found out and someone wants to raise a fuss, then I guess I'll be the test case. I'm not worried about it at all.nightmare wrote:I would carry without any guilt or worry. YMMV
Re: Dallas Zoo
Went to Fort Worth Zoo a couple of weeks ago for grandchild's birthday. It too is posted 30.06 but owned by the city of Fort Worth. I carried, believing that if found out, I would probably beat the rap, but may take the ride. On the way to the zoo I stopped and bought a different shirt as it became so windy that my shirt kept getting blown in the wind and I was concerned with becoming unconcealed. I wasn't seeking to be the test case so I was extra cautious.

Re: Dallas Zoo
We made it out to the Dallas Zoo yesterday and it was NOT posted 30.06. There were no metal detectors, anyone searching bags or anything of the sort. I carried all day (rode the DART) and there were zero issues.
Re: Dallas Zoo
I'm about to go to the Fort Worth Zoo, and my wife has already informed me that I cannot carry, via the website.

You just tell her that as a man, YOU decide what happens, when and where.
Then run, hide, and post the hilarity.

Re: Dallas Zoo
Just went to ft worth zoo today. They have 2 signs, one as you enter the parking lot at the parking ticket booth, the other as you buy your entrance ticket at the front gate.

Re: Dallas Zoo
I usually frequent the Dallas Zoo. If you look to the far right of the ticket booth it is a decently large sign plus one when you walk through. I actually started carrying a 10mm because I went to the Zoo so much and didn't feel like my .40 was enough to stop one of the flamingos that kept eyeballing me.

You should get a S&W 69.....only .44Mag can reliably stop an enraged flamingo.....

Yeah but what if I miss 2-3 rounds? I will only have 2-3 left depending the revolver. With the 10mm I can still have 8-9 to engage fellow flamingos.
