Houston Rodeo CHL

So I was looking on the HLSR website when I clicked on security measures and read this: People with concealed handgun licenses, or CHLs, will be cleared by law enforcement personnel at each gate prior to entering the grounds.

So I guess its ok? I now in the actually Rodeo the answer is no cause its a sporting event but I guess the grounds are ok.

I thought it was interesting too and wonder how they are handling it.

That could mean two different things the way I read it.

Yep, I thinking that's a poorly worded way of saying no guns. As in, if you have CHL we will pay you down to verify your not carrying.

I emailed for clarification. I suspect they won't respond.

City owned property so they "shouldnt" be able to enforce a no guns rule for chl holders..
not sure i like being identified and "checked out" as a guy with a legally carried firearm though.... even if i understand the intent..

Hmmmmm..................All depends on the definition of "cleared" means in this statement.

Not a big deal if they wand me and find my sidearm I'll show them my license.

I have to question their "security scan". Went to the BBQ cook off last night. Going into the check station they had to see my money clip which has a magnet in it. They never questioned the knife in my front pocket.
