Thinking about taking my daughter to the Texas Oklahoma fair in Wichita falls . I remember much discussion on fairs located on city property bur don't think a general conclusion was reached . What is the legal as far as chl ? Thanks !

Years ago, I attempted to go to the T/O Fair. IIRC, entrance to the T/O Fair is gained through The MPEC. The MPEC is owned by and situated on city property. The doors of the MPEC were 30.06 posted. I've not returned.

Thanks for replying . Guess I'll leave it in the truck then , funny how after carrying so long it makes you feel odd not being armed .

If it is city property they cannot post a 30.06. When you go, if they have a sign suggest taking a picture and follow Chas.' procedure for turning them in.

Going tonight , will check it out . Would have to be at the front Impact Building (fair entrance) . I will have a camera with me anyway .

Sign on city property is not enforceable unless it's an otherwise prohibited location.

Well heck I failed , got short notice from our pastor help was needed at a women's refuge shelter . Will still have to go Saturday though , daughter is involved in some entertainment activity's then .

It doesn't take long to get used to the extra weight and security. I went unarmed into a grocery store that's pretty well hated in here and realized my belt doesn't fit right anymore without a holster behind it.

Two years ago a friend of mine carried into the state fair. He said that he went in the main gate by the Music Hall. After entering he told an officer that he was licensed and was carrying. They had him go to the officer who was in the elevated chair who then came down and looked at his license and checked his gun. They then said ok and off he went.

You might check their website to see if they have instructions. He thinks that there is where he got the information.

I just checked their website.
