Dallas museums and CHL

[adamjaero]

I will be staying in Dallas for a few days while my wife attends a conference. I thought I'd check out the perot & art museum and maybe the JFK museum too. Does anyone know the rules for these places regarding concealed carry? Thanks in advance for any help!

I believe you're good to go at the Perot, not sure on the others check http://www.texas3006.com for info.

Nope, the Perot is posted 30.06 so off-limits

Thanks for the info. I was afraid of that. I'm not sure what the point of having a CHL is if everywhere you want to go seems to be off limits. It seems like the places you would most likely need a weapon are "gun free zones", like sporting events, college, etc. I just don't understand how they trust you to walk around the streets armed, but a museum..... no way.

Private property owners sometimes have weird ideas on gun rights. Any city or government owned museum would be OK to carry.

Apparently the Perot Museum isn't posted anymore -- see here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=60633&p=794833&hili ... um#p794362" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

OK, well thanks again guys. Thats better news. I had planned on walking there and didn't want to have to leave my weapon because the destination wouldn't allow it. I really hate being a law abiding citizen sometimes. I just hope all the crazy folks out there are just as worried about the gun free signs as I am.

I was at the Perot last Friday. I did not take my pistol for not knowing if it was posted. It was not posted at the main entrance nor at the entrance to the building. Carry on!
