Re: Alliance air show - again.
If they're allowing the general public unescorted access, that implies the airshow grounds are not AOA or SIDA, unless the airport is intentionally violating FAR Part 107 by allowing unescorted access to untrained personnel who haven't been subject to background checks.donkey wrote:Just because their is a fence at an airport doesn't mean the area on the other side is automatically a "secure area". You would need to talk to Alliance an find out exactly what portions of the airport have been designated as AOAs or SIDAs. Federal laws apply in these areas and weapons are not allowed.
Maybe they don't quote federal law because they know federal law doesn't prohibit firearms at the airshow.donkey wrote:Texas says the only "secured area" is in the terminal building. They should be posting signs that cite federal law.

Well then, it certainly sounds like they are as wrong as I am. Okay. Maybe more, but ...donkey wrote:Just because their is a fence at an airport doesn't mean the area on the other side is automatically a "secure area".

All of Love Field and DFW are owned by Dallas or a group of cities. Most of our large airports are city owned. How many of you folks saying that 30.06 doesn't matter because it is property owned by the city want to try and see how far into the secure area you can get with your gun? This airshow is too much of a gray area for me. I would not risk it. I don't have the money to fight it and don't want to risk losing big time if I'm wrong.
They don't need to post 30.06 signs, but they are as a reminder. Maybe they are unenforceable. IDK
Are there any other statutorily off limits places that are okay when there is a certain type of event going on?
I have other plans, so I won't be going to the show, but thanks for the lesson. I wish I could say that if I were going I would challenge them, but I don't think I would.

I don't know what FAR regulates public access, I don't have to deal with that area and I'm not the type that memorizes regulations for fun, I do know some of those types though.

Have never been wanded or looked at with any undue scrutiny. The signs at the gates say something to the effect that bags and parcels are subject to search. Never had an issue.

We're planning a HOA event at the park that day. . . food, bounce houses, face painting, FWFD with a fire truck. . . should be a good time. Just so you know, we'll have no way to authenticate who is a resident of our neighborhood and who isn't.
It is a city park, however, so I guess those mugs in the emoticon need to be root beer.

If anyone is going to the Alliance Air Show this weekend, be sure to visit with the Texas State Guard members donating their time at the show.

Re: Alliance air show - again.
For what its worth - this is kind of an FYI, more just because I am dejected at the way the Rangers season has ended up - I mentioned the non-compliant sign to two personal friends of mine who are both LEO. I asked their opinion. Both told me do not carry, even if the sign is unenforceable. They said the best way to fight the signs is through legislature and writing the city of Fort Worth. In their opinion, every person that gets caught simply makes CHL's look bad to the general public.
Re: Alliance air show - again.
That's an interesting and not too unreasonable opinion. However, I wonder if they would still arrest someone for carrying past such a sign knowing that it was posted somewhere that it shouldn't be? Based on their opinion that it makes CHLs look bad to the public I'm guessing that they would. Otherwise, how would it make a CHL look bad if no one knew about it?Rrash wrote:For what its worth - this is kind of an FYI, more just because I am dejected at the way the Rangers season has ended up - I mentioned the non-compliant sign to two personal friends of mine who are both LEO.

Maybe a little bit but not even 1% as bad as some LEO would makes his or her profession look by breaking the law and arresting a US citizen for exercising a basic human right.Rrash wrote:In their opinion, every person that gets caught simply makes CHL's look bad to the general public.
They sound like the kind of person who thinks Rosa Parks should have given up the bus seat instead of making Negros look bad to the general public.
Re: Alliance air show - again.
I attended the air show today. At one point approximately 300 yards from the main gate there was a sign listing the NO items, i.e.coolers, food, drinks,tents, etc. and firearms. The main gate had Texas Guard military personnel checking backpacks, lawn chair bags, or any type of package. There wasn't a 30.06 sign to be seen. I was wearing tactical pants, and a black anorak, could be carrying, but I was totally ignored. No one appeared to be looking for armed individuals. So much for the 30.06 posting on the air show web site; which, by the way, is still there as I write this post.

Re: Alliance air show - again.
Bumping this up again. I plan to go sunday and would love to hear from someone who went Saturday and got in with CHL. The website has the 30.06 wording as usual.
