Is Concealed Carry Legal at Fiesta Texas, San Antonio?

Post by whenifly1 »

Does anyone know if concealed carry is OK at Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio? I do not recall seeing any 30.06 signs, but I do know they make everyone go through a metal detector and they also check all your carry-in bags. Thank you for your inputs.

I know Sea World is now posted
I'd bet Six Flags Fiesta Texas is posted (It used to be, I'm sure it still is) (They searched my fanny pack and held my knife for me to pick up when I left ... had trouble finding it when I wanted it back... next time I'll leave knives in the car)
So, in a nutshell, I'm pretty certain it's off limits.

FWIW, searching "Six Flags" here http://texas3006.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; only turns up the Arlington location.
Searching "Fiesta" only turns up one location for a grocery store.

If you go, and you find a 30.06 in SA, please add it to the database over there..

Cheers.

Oddly, I do Not see it listed on http://www.texas3006.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but that just means either CHLs don't go there due to them not respecting our rights, or that no one submitted it yet to http://www.texas3006.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you go and see a 30.06 sign, please submit it to http://www.texas3006.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thanks RoygBiv

What about PC 46.035?

Just have to see if there's an actual sign out front, or in the parking lot leading in to it.

In Texas, wouldn't those park policies be worthless for a CLH? If they find out, they can ask you to leave (and if you refuse then you would be trespassing). Otherwise you are not trespassing because effective notice was not given (if they are just relying on the "policies" on a website).

A CHL would only be legally prohibited if all of the conditions are met:

Park policy is worthless, but they usually back it up with a 30.06 sign and or metal detectors or wands and search bags. So, even if they do not have a 30.06 sign and they discover it they will tell you that you cannot bring that in.

I didn't see firearms addressed in a quick perusal of their FAQs, but I did see no smoking, no outside food or drink, and no laser pointers. (for the safety of their staff and guests)

I might be taking the kiddo in a couple of weeks when I drive down from Richardson to watch another of his baseball games. If so, I'll look around and take pics/post on tx3006, etc.

I have had the experience of them taking my knife from me at the gate. Ironically, it's one I bought and carried in the sandbox and says plainly, "Operation Iraqi Freedom Certified". They took it from me when they gave me free entry into the park during the celebration of "American Heroes." (I don't claim that title...I just gave some; some gave all. That's just the title they gave me while they also disarmed me!)

Yet another reason to remove that section. It is confusing and unnececessary.

You didnt read all the section you posted. They still have to post 30.06, the above is essentially meaningless. It is an old section of law.
