Small victory - FW Gun Show no longer posted.

[AJSully421]

Anyone who has been to any of the FW gun shows at Will Rogers has noticed that there has been 30.06 signs posted. I know that they have received many complaints about Fort Worth's signs at the zoo, the children's museum and the cowgirl museum, all on city property.

Went to the show on the 13th, and to my surprise, there was only a sign that said "No loaded firearms". No 30.06 or 30.07 language.

As there is no provision in the law to enforce that sign, then there can be no criminal penalty for ignoring it.

Now... what I did see was uniformed FWPD officers stop a gentleman who I had noticed had a bulge on his ankle. They spoke to him for a few seconds and then walked on. I could not help but wonder what would have happened if he had a loaded pistol on his ankle? Since 30.05 cannot be used based on a licensed person carrying a sidearm, and a police officer cannot verbally notify on city owned property under 30.06, and neither can the gun show organizers enforce it under any section... what could they do legally?

How could they say that you were CT'ed from the show for something else under 30.05 when you were only told to scram after they found you with a loaded gun? Sounds like they are opening themselves up for a nice little lawsuit.

Either way, no more signs.
