More details please.

There really aren't many exceptions. If the property is owned or leased by state or local gov, a 30.06 or 30.07 violation could only be prosecuted if you were already barred from carry by 46.03 or 46.035.
You can bring your gun, it just has to be unloaded, inspected and zip tied.Wichita Falls gun show had not been posted until about 2 years ago. Held in city owned property and after complaints posting was removed. They have had a negligent discharge fairly recently but it was from a dealer bringing in a loaded shotgun, not a LTC holder. The logic that a LTC holder carrying increases liability is ridiculous. If the show is posted you have 2 choices. Pay to get in without your gun or not give them your money and leave. Simple.
Irrelevant to Joe blow walking in unless you want to be the test case. No thanks!Question..... is .06 and .07 applicable at municipal owned venues? I’m asking you because I think that you may know and be able to quote law if it is or isn’t. Thanks in advance.

I have not been to a Gun Show in a lot of years. My wife, had recently obtained her License to Carry ID. She wanted to go to the Premier Gun Show in Round Rock, Texas, this past July. I have a LTC also. So, I go to the entrance of the show, and I am shocked to see erected, 30.06 and 30.07 signs! I said to myself, this must be a mistake. At a gun show, I thought? How the heck can that be? Well, after buying the wife a couple of holsters and a sturdy gun belt for LTC, I left. The more I thought about it, the madder I got. The only reason for the sign, I guess, is to prevent those once in a lifetime dealer or customer, bringing or showing a supposedly unloaded firearm, that was loaded, and a negligent discharge occurred. Since the dealers show the guns, simple procedures can be followed to make sure all display firearms are unloaded, which I know should be standard practice. Has anyone noticed at other Gun Shows, like Saxet, or other gun shows that have these 30.06/30,07 signs at the entrance ? If most of them do, I probably am done going to Gun Shows, unless the signs are removed. What do you all think about it?
I went to a gun show yesterday as well, albeit one out of state; and here's a few observations for comparison's sake...
This gun show--in a very gun-friendly state (even more so than Texas)--did not allow loaded weapons into the venue. There were numerous signs and law enforcement personnel present enforcing it.
Parking and entry were more expensive ($4 and $12 respectively) given the size of the show (200-300 tables).
Prices were about what I normally see at Texas shows or just a little higher. Selection was about the same as well, although the ration of gun/ammo tables to "other" items was better. I would say 90% of the items offered were gun-related, whereas that percentage tends to be about 75-80% at home. They still had the usual eyeglass cleaners and fudge sellers though...
That said, I was in and out of this show in 45 minutes, and that with walking the entire floor twice. I probably stopped to talk with 4-5 vendors about items they were offering. Most times we are at SAXET for about two hours.
The bottom line is while most gun shows are just a shadow of what they used to be, Texas still has better ones than those I've experienced over my travels to other states (Nevada, Florida, etc.) these past years.
