Is it legal to carry at the fair? Will I get to the gate from parking a mile away and find the 30.06 sign?
Also, some of the parking lots are linked to the fair by DART train. Is it legal to carry on a DART train?
The state fair is owned by the City of Dallas. NO 30.06 is posted, and it would be invalid if it was posted.
You will need to show your CHL to the person with the metal detector wand.
AS far as DART, are DART buses listed in the penal code as off limit places?
I know the answer to the question I am about to ask but I thought it necessary to ask for the benefit of others so please do not chastise me for asking...LOL
If the city of Dallas owns the state fair, why would a 30.06 sign if posted be invalid?
Cities cannot trump the state law for CHL. I just didn't know who owned the property for the state fair. It's a bad neighborhood and I'm glad I have my CHL if we go. One of my kids has the swine flu and we may skip the fair this year.
isnt the fair considered an amusement park and therefor off limits?

No, or I would have told the OP so.
And Amusement Parks are NOT off limits unless 30.06 posted.
I swore this was echoed to me in my class and several times after the fact. I was flipping through my manual trying to find the wording, but I want to say I even read it.
Possibly remembering the "professional sports" part.
This was resolved last year when people were told that there would "no CCW" allowed in the State Fair. The very next day a retractions was done saying that infact any valid CCW would be allowed.
