Dallas Stars Open House @ AAC Carry??

[Medic218]

One problem at the ACC is that alcohol is sold at their events. The ACC may fall under the same category as a bar.

Thats a non-issue. With the price of a single lower level ticket(not on the glass) going for 150.00 a pop they are most deff not a 51% establishment.
Just because alcohol is sold there doesn't mean you can't carry. Applebee's and Chili's sale booze and it's perfectly fine to carry there.

Does this meet the legal definition of a professional sporting event? I don't see that it does, but I'm not a lawyer. Note below that the sporting event must be taking place to apply so if no sporting events are taking place all the other laws apply such as proper 30.06 signs.

(2) on the premises where a high school, collegiate, or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place, unless the license holder is a participant in the event and a handgun is used in the event;
A professional sporting event is one in which the participants are paid for their participation. This includes your typical professional sports, NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, etc, as well as NASCAR and some rodeo events.

I know for a fact that all kind of people carry at the dragstrip's..

To me that IS a defensible position. Participant in a drag race are competing for prize money. They are not paid to be there by the organizers. Of course, I am not intimately familiar with how the money works in race events.

Sounds like the people INSIDE the ticket booth are the ones with the mask and a gun....

I'll admit I even take my old black SS to the strip and it'll have a 45 in the console and sometime a 12 gauge in the floor.
