State Fair Update
From the official State Fair Web Page:
Question: Can I bring:
...a gun? No, with one exception.
A person holding a valid concealed handgun license is permitted to enter onto State Fair property with his/her concealed handgun. Licenses will be examined at the entrance by an authorized security supervisor. Handguns will not be permitted inside the Cotton Bowl, a facility defined under Texas Penal Code 46.035 as "the premises where a high school, collegiate or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place." We want the Fair to be a fun and safe experience.

Re: 2007 State Fair of Texas - Important CHL Update
Dumb Question time:CHL/LEO wrote: We were told that if someone comes into the fair with a gun and they have a CHL that there will be no LE action taken against them as they have not broken any state laws. However, a representative of the State Fair will be contacted and the violator will be detained until they arrive. Once the State Fair representative arrives the violator will be informed once again of this new policy and asked to remove their gun from the premises. If they refuse to do so then they will be given a Criminal Trespass warning and if they refuse at that time to leave, or return back to the fair grounds this year they will be arrested.
1- If they have not broken any state laws, why are they being referred to as "violators"; and under what authority are they being detained?
2- What is the basis of the Criminal Trespass Warning? As Charles stated, 30.06 does not apply and 30.05 can't be used to deny admission based on carrying a handgun with a CHL.
