I personally wouldn't carry at a rodeo open or concealed, because (even though it's been years since I've been to one) if I go to a rodeo I'm going to drink beer.  But there might be some designated driver types who might want to carry so I was just curious about the legality of it.

Is there some provision for those in charge of the rodeo to designate certain people as security guards, who can carry (open or concealed), like there is for churches?  I'm sure there will be state or county law enforcement officers there, but you'd think they could designate several people they know as security personnel as a backup.  What does it take for that to be done legally?

There isn't a provision in the CHP Act, so it would take a legislative change.  Only churches and banks can set an armed security force, according the the statute.  I'm not sure how it would work if an organization were to hire a security company though...

Then this is another among many flaws in state law that should be corrected.  If there is ever an incident at one of these places that might have been stopped by an armed citizen, those responsible for citizens being disarmed are accessories to the crime, and should be held responsible and brought to justice.
