Check their website. If I'm not mistaken they now have to list they're policy online I'd they don't allow guns.

i've been to a conference there and dont remember any signs - i "think" you're ok

 

[Thegomezclan]

Thanks, I was looking on their website and couldn't see any policies about guns.

This law only applies for those who make hotel reservations.

 

[Thegomezclan]

Does anyone know for sure about the convention center itself?

 

[just jk]

i'd be shocked if there was a 30.06 sign

have you called the hotel front desk and asked? i'm sure they'd know

 

[Thegomezclan]

I haven't called yet, I was figuring that maybe one of you fine people on this site would know. And beside by asking it gets my post count up.

Yankee, you are right I am stay in the hotel for the convention as well. Sorry if I confused people.

I would just call too.

I would just call too.

So they can give a verbal "No you can't". Screw that.

Then I would ask to speak to management and inform them that they are not in compliance with the law since it is apparently not on their website that CC is prohibited. Often, when speaking with a clerk, they are unfamiliar with the policy of their employer and generally do not know the laws. Often you will find management well versed in this area and would get the answer you are looking for. So, as stated by others as well, call. I would believe they will tell you yes you can but the only way to know is to call.

^^^^ this

besides, if they DO have posted signs - or prohibit concealed carry - then we have to respect that

he can choose to carry and risk the consequences if discovered -but its better to know for sure than not

I've stayed there several times this last year, the last in October and didn't see any signs posted.

Don't have the TX state laws in front of me but IIRC all they have to do (any employee) is notify you you not to carry at their place and that's enough.

You know that law is not the one for CHLers carrying a handgun, right?

Apparently not. I seemed to remember a long thread about this and all I did was pull that statement from the DPS site. Either way, if some dude at a place of business tells me either "no" or says GTFO out I will no longer trespass on their property.

This is where I pulled the code.

I've been here since Wednesday and I haven't seen any signs at all.
