I wonder if this means that they would allow a CHL to carry during those times. Why bother wanding if they aren't going to post a 30.06? I find this difference curious.

The 30.06 sign only affects those who carry legally. Those who don't (and I suspect that there are quite a few) are already breaking the law so what is walking past one more sign? In most of the wanding situations that I've seen, they are looking for knives, too.

In fact, if someone is carrying illegally, they are not committing an additional crime by walking past a 30.06 sign. That sign only applies to license holders. A non-license holder could not be charged with violating a 30.06 sign.

Whenever you are planning to go somewhere you think might have a 51% sign, put the address and/or name of the place in there.

That will tell you if guns are prohibited based upon the amount of alcohol sales for on-premise consumption. If it says Gun Sign: RED, don't carry. If it says Gun Sign: BLUE, carry away.

House of Blues in Dallas shows a BLUE sign, so it's okay to carry. Unless they have a 30.06 sign up and/or metal detectors, you're good to go.

Which brings up another website to check:

This one can be hit or miss, because the submissions are made by CHL holders so it's not a comprehensive database, but it will give you a heads up on a lot of places.

According to texas3006.com, the House of Blues in Houston occasionally has guards with metal detectors. If that's the case in Dallas, they may ask you to store your gun in your car before you can enter the building.
