Re: State Fair Report

Well, it was definitely a positive experience. Went through the gate at the end of MLK, the wand lady started to wand as I was showing my CHK and DL then stopped and waved me through to the ticket taking lady on the other side of the turnstyle who took my ticket and then referred me to officer Bill about 20 feet away. He came over to meet me and immediately seemed pleased that I had my CHL. He said to have a good time, enjoy the fair and was glad that I was there. Then he went on to say that he hoped it never had to leave wherever I was keeping it. LOL I was in khaki shorts with an untucked casual short sleeve shirt and sneakers with ankle socks so there weren't too many places it could be :lol:

I took the 27 IWB and had my extra mag in a small pocket just below the main right pocket that almost seems like it was made as a mag pouch.

The wife and I had been to the fair before and know the neighborhood that its in, but this was a first for the inlaws. I actually missed the exit due to traffic and ended up having to go down to Metropolitan Ave, due the loop under and then back up to Pennsylvania Ave out to the park. Heh, it was a bit of an eye opener for them and said that they were glad I had my "buddy" with me.

Re: State Fair Report

This is all good info. The wife and I, along with her parents are going tonight and out of all the places I usually frequent in DFW, the area around Fair Park is probably the one where I would most want to be armed.

I remember Crossfire bringing this up in the class back in June and its good to see that they are in deed gun friendly at the fair and for the most part "educated" about CHL holders.

Hopefully my experience tonight will be a positive one as well.... now the hard decision.... do I take the 19, the 22 or the 27.........
