If you are worried about your own security, you need to either 1) make sure sufficient security is there; 2) hire your own security; or 3) not accept the assignment. No game is worth a breach of my personal security. I have a couple of contacts that are Texas peace officers and would probably go to a game with me if I needed them. I hope it doesn't come to that, as I will then seriously consider quitting.
Same laws in AZ. Although if you have a CCW, you may be able to carry to sporting events, that's something I need to check.

I would never accept an assignment where I felt I needed a gun with me for my own safety. 99% of all varsity games here have at least 2 uniformed officers at the gym, and I've seen very few issues here (thank god).
