Disagree on losing… it's our tax money moving from one entity to another. It's already been paid, but that movement of money would resolve the issue of the improper and now illegal signs on public land.jmorris wrote:338winmag wrote:Think about it, the government is fining the government.RossA wrote:Think of all of the revenue the state is missing by not taking action and collecting those fines from all around the state.
Different levels though, State collecting from City....collecting from us. So either way we lose.
They can't. They are only 55 Acres.338winmag wrote:How long will it take them to switch over to saying they are an amusement park?
I find the fact that the sign is not displayed in a conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public to be a problem waiting to happen. In the event that a LTC holder is stopped, the LTC holder ends up debating the meaning of the phrase "conspicuous manner clearly visible to the public". The sign should be posted at the entrance gates clearly visible to all visitors before purchasing tickets so that an LTC holder can either not enter or choose to lock their firearm up in their vehicle.minytrker wrote:Went to the zoo today with the family. I couldnt even find the signs and didnt even see them until we left. I was looking for signs out front or on the ticket booths when we walked up. We went straight to the far left and went in without seeing anything posted. I thought it was really odd that we didn't see anything posted. On the way out we happened to go to the left and saw the signs on far wall. So its still posted but hard to find IMO.
Actually, it does not matter where they post sign that should not be posted. The signs are illegal no matter.

I wonder if they ever euthanize animals on premise? They may try to argue that they are a place of execution....ScottDLS wrote:The real operating issue is: "owned by a government entity, and not otherwise prohibited by 46.03 or 46.035". They could put up a billboard with the proper 30.06/7 wording in English & Spanish and it would still be invalid. They will be fined eventually.
Ft. Worth Zoo is NOT a school, an amusement park (too small), a place of execution, a parimutuel racetrack, a church, or a secure area of an airport...
They may even have a daycare license, but that is irrelevant.
Someday I'm gonna have to drive over there and open carry just to settle the point. Maybe Beruity will join me.
