Carry at Houston Grand Prix

[Sugar Land]

I am going to the races this weekend. Does it fall under the same rules as sporting events? If not can one CC there?

 

[txinvestigator]

Only certain sporting events are off limits. See penal code 46.035

Professional
Collegiate
High School
Interscholastic (all interscholastic, regardless of sporting or not)

 

[Sugar Land]

Would Grand prix be in the professional?

 

[cbigclarke]

i would say yes

 

[tx_transplant]

I would think that it's a professional event, so off limits.

If the participants are paid for that participation. Seems to be the generally accepted definition of professional.

Also, only the premises is off limits. Meaning a building or portion of a building.

From where will you be watching?

From my reading of it, it only covers premises where event is. If it's not taking place in that part of the building, then it's not against a law. Unless they're driving though the buildings, I'd try to say it isn't covered.

The reliant complex is owned by harris county. Per TPC 30.06(e), a CHL holder can't be issued effective notice for property owned or leased by a government entity. So they'd have to ask him to leave and allow him to make his way out, per simple trespass laws. Question is if they would be allowed to kick someone out for not breaking the law.

If it is a suite that is owned or leased by the race, I would say no carry.

46.035 makes it unlawful to carry on the premises of a professional sporting event. That laws stands irrespective of 30.06.

It is my opinion that if it is a suite owned or leased by the race organization, carry would not be lawful.

A private suite not related to the race is not applicable to 46.035, but would be to 30.06.

I guess it depends on how a court would define "on the premises where [event] is taking place". If I had to, I would try to say that since the even isn't taking place in that building, it doesn't count. Obviously, this is a mental exercise regarding my opinion. I'm not going to try it, and I'm definitely not going to give anyone legal advice.

Seems like a no-no to me. Mine will stay in the truck unfortunately. Didnt know you were into Indycar Chuck or I would have invited you. MSR Houston is taking part and was kind enough to provide me with tickets for both days.

Sent from Kate Beckinsale's closet.
