All of the alcohol-serving "areas" (as opposed to the counters where you can just walk up and order) have 51% signs. So it sounds like carrying is fine as long as you're sensible about the taverns.

Was a fun weekend! Affirmative on the 51% signs. The one beer I did buy I had my wife go up and purchase. There were no 30.06 signs anywhere.

Sorry to jump on one line from your very first post on the forum, but I've had my CHL for more than 12 years now, renewed twice, and I have never taken an oath to protect "citizens in general." Not saying I wouldn't do so under the right circumstances. But my CHL is to protect ME and MY family/loved ones. Your CHL is to protect you and your loved ones. None of us has any duty to protect anyone else.

I'm not Batman. I'm not even a cop. I'm just an average Joe with a CHL. Nothing more; nothing less.

Sorry, yeah that was bad wording. I did not mean an actual "oath". It was figurative. It's more of my own personal feeling I suppose. :)

2 Police officers taught my CHL Class. if 30.06 is posted properly, CHL is powerless. If any other sign is posted (other than 51%) such as "Firearms Prohibited" or "It is illegal to carry a firearm here", it does not apply to CHL carriers. Those signs are to remind the non-licensed. The point of a CHL is to allow the arming of "lawful" citizens. To carry a CHL is an oath to protect not only yourself but your loved ones and citizens in general.
I worked at The Texas Renaissance Festival for 8 years and it is owned by a real hard ass. I would not be surprised if a 30.06 is not posted on purpose. Remember, CHL rules and regulations are configured in a way so that nobody is going to know you are carrying unless it has come time to put a bullet in someone. If someone can tell you are carrying or sees your gun, you are probably going to jail. However, if somehow you are caught at TRF with a firearm they at the least have the right to eject you from the faire even with a CHL.

To those who have never been to a Renaissance Faire. It is not what the TV shows and commercials make it out to be. It is a blast. And no, you don't have to dress in costume but you will have more fun if you do
