We went last night (the 20th), it's a piece of cake. My wife was all twitchy about bringing 'that thing', although when we parked off the fairgrounds a couple of blocks, I think her opinion changed on the walk back to the car. No problems BTW.

Walked up to the security checkpoint and they were wanding people, I presented my CHL and Drivers license and the lady smiled and said 'have a nice time, just show talk to the Police Officer when you get inside'.
The Police Officer had even less to say, just 'thank you'.

Security in the park was very light overall, maybe because the music group was 'Third Day'. We might have seen 3 Police Officers on foot in the crowd all day, and 6-8 riding around on golf carts. I didn't feel that this crowd was going to be a problem, but if something happened there were not enough Police around to do anything, unless they had a lot of plain clothes officers.

BTW I learned a couple lessons:
1) Take the DART from a nearby location and save the HASSLE of parking
2) Look for discount tickets and don't buy them the day of the fair ($50)
3) A fanny pack is the way to go, I wore a jackass half shoulder rig under a lose shirt, and I was constantly clutching it as folks brushed me. I know that 3-4 people must have 'made' me.
4) The food/drinks are outrageously expensive, like $5 for a hotdog, and $5 for a large coke.
