1. It's none of their business where I carry my gun.

2. Is it even legal for me to reveal where my concealed gun is except to a LEO?

3. Some people don't ride the rides at the State Fair so pocket carry would be just fine.

Do what you wish but.......
Security was friendly, polite and accomodating so why would I be any less?
Anytime an LEO or Security questions me about my carry piece I will be as helpful as possible.

This is an interesting question. I believe telling someone you have a handgun is not a violation of TPC §46.035(a) - Intentional failure to conceal. However, shortly after SB60 passed in 1995, former Rep. Ron Wilson (a co-author [in name only] of the House version) was quoted as saying that verbal disclosure that you were armed would violate §46.035(a). I disagree.
