In past years, TSRA held a gunshow in conjunction with their annual meeting.

According to Mr. Dark, TSRA was required to post 30.06 for the show to obtain insurance covering the show.

i don't consider the TSRA to be anti Second Amendment.

I don't doubt this, but was it a government owned venue, and was Texas Penal Code 30.06 specifically referenced in the insurance contract?

You can choose to carry past it if you desire. As others have said most if not all gun shows are posted. It certainly sounds plausible to me that the insurance company may require it since they all have it.

I've heard this stated on numerous occasions, but I would really like to see an insurance contract that specifies 30.06 notice on property where the notice is invalid... I really have trouble believing that an insurance company contract specifies the exact notice. I understand that they could require the promoter to prohibit loaded firearms, but there would be no force of criminal law behind this. Also for a city owned venue, for an insurance contract to require a specific notice that was not "valid" on a city owned facility, seems like it might be unenforceable even civilly, because it is "contrary to public policy". A contract provision is generally invalid if it is "contrary to public policy".
