The 30.06 signs were conspicuously missing from the Original FW Gun Show this morning. We won that battle but the war continues...

OT: how was the attendance ?

Great!!! Maybe I'll go tomorrow. Just curious.... not that I NEED to.... but did they post 30.07?

That's awesome I had sent letters to the producers of that show and told them my attendance was not to be expected until they changed their policy. Thanks, I might have to try to make it out tomorrow.

Attendance was good but it wasn't packed with a line out the door.
No 30.07 but there was a large sign that said no loaded weapons. No resemblance to a legal sign though.

Sold a collectible that I acquired a couple of weeks ago and doubled my money. It was a good day all before lunch.

That's one small step ...

No '06 or '07 but a no loaded weapons sign?

That is not a victory. What do you think would have happened if someone exercised their permission to OC at the show?

I'm sure they could do as any other group and ask you to leave or conceal, but I'm pretty sure they changed their signage due to the fact that the facility is city owned. I know that besides myself others have written letters to the show producers. The no loaded guns signs are just a way to appease their insurance providers who they blamed for the posting of signs in the past. Openly carrying a loaded gun at a gun show sounds like a bad idea as some may assume you want to sell it. I would carry concealed and not look for accessories for my carry gun.

Right. Just to appease their insurance.

Also remember that a "no loaded guns" sign still applies to long guns, regardless of licensing. Still, you should be able to open carry a handgun with a LTC there. It being on city property, they are not allowed to post, and unless I've misunderstood, that means they can't verbally restrict licensed carry either. Anybody know if I'm wrong about that?

This makes sense to me. If the goal is to let the legal tax base carry on public property, allowing verbal notice would defeat the purpose. I read it the way you do.
