But, regarding the OP's second scenario, who in a government owned arena that is illegally posted would have the authority to ask you to leave? The ticket puncher, the guy selling peanuts, the security staff?
Exactly my concern. And I'm not just concerned about open carry at one of the government owned properties, such as the American Airlines Center. What happens if I carry concealed there (to a concert), and I get wanded by the security guy at the door? Do they have the right to bar me from entering with my concealed handgun, or do I have the right to enter with it?
I believe I've seen here and other places that if they are wanding and there are no other reasons you can't carry, just tell them you don't want to be wanded.
They will then refer you to an LEO. Show him/her your CHL and you're good to go.
