30.05 Law and No Sign

My fiancee and I are planning our wedding at the Dallas Arboretum. My question is, the ceremony rental contract has the following entry in the "Other" category along with about a dozen miscellaneous items like no gambling, no refunds for mechanical fountain malfunction and there's a hot air balloon prohibition.

"6) Carrying a firearm is prohibited. This includes persons licensed to carry a concealed handgun pursuant to state law. Carrying a firearm on DABS premises is a Class A Misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $40,000 fine: Texas Penal Code, Section 30.05. "

Is this legal? I do not believe so for several reasons.

1 - The statute is 30.06, not 30.05 (long gun restriction).
2 - The language is not even close to that of the actual 30.06 or 30.07 requirement.
3 - They have no signs of any type posted anywhere.
4 - It might be city or state property.

Can you guys help me determine if this is valid or not? I wanted to wear my pistol during our vows, but I don't want to end up in trouble.
