Texas State Fair Bans Guns

The Texas State Fair made a decision to ban guns, a move that has sparked controversy and debate across the state. The Armed Attorneys Richard Hayes and Emily Taylor discuss the implications of this ban, particularly in a state known for its strong Second Amendment support. We'll discuss the legal aspects of this decision, how it aligns with Texas state gun laws, and what it means for fair attendees who are accustomed to carrying firearms.

This move seems to go against the very principles Texas stands for.

Mandatory open carry at the Texas Fair would be the most Texas thing ever. They are missing a big opportunity here.

Fuck the state fair! Never will go anywhere my gun is not welcome

[xamindar]

Just don't go anymore. Prices on everything more than doubled after covid and made it not worth going at all.

[mchavez]

Criminals don't follow the law....

[robertsmetek]

How do you stop drunk drivers?
Don't let sober people drive.

Skipping the state fair. Not worth it.

[Hatbox]

No way would I go then. That part of town has been a no-go zone since I was a kid.

One of the best things about this channel is you both speak like you're in a normal conversation with friends, on the patio, having a beer.
No phony announcer voices or awkward etiquette.
Cheers.

I like how the Fair blames the lawful carriers because an unlawful carrier shot someone... ridiculous

[milsOnwheels]

Ken Paxton has now sent them a letter, basically telling them to change there minds or be sued.

Fair park is in a shitty part of town. It's a lot less tempting to go to the fair when you might get mugged walking back to your car and aren't allowed to have a weapon on you.

Wow, Texas State Fair... way to know your customer base. They must have reached out to the Bud Light advertising department for policy advice.

I just banned attendance of the State Fair for my household. Problem solved.

[harryheinisch]

AG is about to sue them for this policy

[mrnico]

Unless they have 100% metal detection and armed security at every entrance and exit, they haven't banned anything. It's like a movie theater and most will just carry concealed.

[ricknor]

Bans licensed carriers; won't accept liability if they're injured/killed.
Sounds like a place to stay away from.

[mikebenefield]

I stopped going to gun shows in Alabama when they banned guns at gun shows.

[Ztex]

I carried at the Fair last year, when I told the ticket taker and metal detector person at the gate that I was carrying, as per thier policy, they loudly yelled a code word (dolphin) to the police officer sitting on a stand 50 yards away. Therefore announcing to anyone paying attention that I had a firearm. WOW
I walked over to the officer and showed him my license card and he shrugged and said have a good day.

The state fair was a no concealed carry zone back in 2012…and even didn’t want anyone carrying a pocket knife at the time.
