Re: Can I carry at...

The Dallas Aquarium DOES allow concealed carry. The Fossil Rim wildlife center DOES allow concealed carry. Joe T Garcia's restaurant in Fort Worth DOES allow concealed carry. Only two sour apples this weekend. The Hotel blows me away...right in the middle of crime-laden downtown Dallas. Nice.
Instead of saying "DOES allow", it would probably be more accurate to say "DOES NOT prohibit". Your current verbiage implies that these places have given us special permission to carry on their premises. That is not the case. We are allowed to carry. Those places have to prohibit our carry per TPC 30.06. We cannot be arbitrarily excluded on the basis of our right/desire to carry.

I'm not trying to be a rhetoric Nazi. It's just that the post has a hint of, "Mother, may I?" in it. This is a mindset we need to change.

Unless a place is off-limits by state statute, or I have been given proper notice per 30.06 (correct signage or verbal notification), I will carry my sidearm whenever and wherever I see fit to do so.
