Anyways, I was just trying to say people should be reading through these laws not answering and then saying "or maybe I'm wrong" which is just likely to mislead more readers on this kind of forum.

Here are the laws and it is quite easy to search through it: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administra ... chlaws.htm although as someone pointed out searching can be dangerous because of all of the exceptions and exclusions. Your best bet is to read them again and again and again until you memorize them (I'm clearly guilty of not doing this myself) and then re-read them every now and again to refresh and get any changes, because they do get changed w/out notice.
Might I suggest this link:
http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/statutes.html

I personally find it very useul.

CHL holders may not carry while in an "amusement park".
(1) "Amusement park" means a permanent indoor or outdoor facility or park where amusement rides are available for use by the public that is located in a county with a population of more than one million, encompasses at least 75 acres in surface area, is enclosed with access only through controlled entries, is open for operation more than 120 days in each calendar year, and has security guards on the premises at all times. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.
Carnivals rarely ever fall under this clause as they are small and temporary in nature.

But that doesn't mean they can't post a 51% or 30.06 sign. :banghead:
You know, if you are going to give people such a hard time about their understanding of the law you should at least be correct when you provide information. Carry at an amusement park is only prohibited if they post the appropriate 30.06 signage.
