No More LTC Allowed At Texas State Fair

[General Zod]

My reply was satire. That guy makes a bunch of money each year

Frankly I've never had a Fletcher's corn(y) dog. Or one from the other Fletchers, who got pissy and started their own sound-alike corn dog company. Because...it's a damn corn dog. It's either gonna taste like a corn dog or a bad corn dog, those are the only two options. I cant get 'em from Sonic if I want them freshly fried.

I used to go back in the day (70s) with my brother and parents. We would go to the Texas v OU football game and the air every year. That was back when they still had the FREAK SHOWS ..............the real ones. That was the best part. There was a black guy with no arms or legs that could roll and light a cigarette with his mouth.

We went once, 83 or 84, or was it 86? The kids wanted to go, so we went. The next day in the Dallas Times Hearld, metro section headline, young couple robbed and murdered in the west parking lot by a perp that was lying in wait under a pickup truck. Never felt the need to go back.

What does it matter? When I said "nobody" but included everybody. Since you are into "supreme law of the land" then supreme law of the land has ruled multiple times that said rights are NOT ABSOLUTE. The Supreme Court, of course, does get its power from the Constitution.

Aside from that, the BOR Thumpers who claim to want absolute rights regularly buckle at denial at some level when it it comes to senile people, former violent criminals that have paid their debts to society, etc.

So, it is OK for States & locality authorities to routinely ignore our U S Constitution ?

Surely sounds like anarchy to me. .. . . . . . .

Dr. you have lost it. An overeducated individual such as you should have a better grasp of the English language.
Anachy is the total and or complete lack of governmental control. State and local authority is still a branch, abet weak, of a government, in a Republic. This crap is more akin to a police state.

Times up. Paxton filed the lawsuit.
This could be huge. Previously the state fair would only allow LTC to carry and no open carry. If Paxton prevails it appears LTC conceal and open carry as well as constitutional carry will all be allowed at the state fair as they were all mentioned in the suit in regards to the laws the city of Dallas, state fair and Dallas PD will be violating. I suspect the fallout from the case will be huge in regards to governmental entities allowing third parties to prevent carry on govt properties.

Good. However given that it is Dallas County, I am not holding my breath for preliminary injunctive relief. My prediction is the City will drag it out for at least a year with Paxton probably losing in District Court despite the law being clear and with appeals...maybe someday we'll get relief.

 

[Eastexasrick]

Ken used his staff attorneys that are well versed in such matters. Dallas will hire panel counsel to defend, at a punishing cost to the City. As previously noted, how long before they knuckle under.

What ever happened with his City of Austin lawsuit, did they ever buckle?

 

[roadkill]

The $64,000 question is will the court grant temporary injunctive relief? If so then anyone can carry at the fair this year. What a slap that would be to the fair and Dallas.

I did not follow that one, this one I will. I will watch for the City to file an answer, that will be an interesting read.

Court denies Texas AG Paxton's bid to make Austin pay $5M fine for blocking guns at City Hall

Texas Supreme Court declines to hear Paxton's appeal, leaving in place a $9,000 fine imposed against the city by a lower court.

Happy Ken Paxton has taken the next step.

Is there not already a fine in place for everyday that the City allows this to be posted for?

Yep. $9k for dragging it out for over a year (577 days).

See the post above. Austin did it for 577 days and paid $9k.

NRA-ILA submitted a brief to state Attorney General Ken Paxton as an interested party in the matter of RQ-0558-KP, the opinion request sought by State Rep. Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) and State Sen. Mayes Middleton (R-Galveston) on the matter of the State Fair of Texas’ misguided firearm prohibition for License To Carry holders at Fair Park in Dallas.

Sure not what I thought the fine was.

Paxton wanted $5million. He got $9K it went up to the Texas Supreme Court and they refused to take the case.

I expect the Dallas County district court will deny a preliminary injunction and then rule against Paxton despite the law being clear.

Paxton filed suit against City of Dallas and the State Fair of Texas for injunctive relief to prevent enforcement of the unlawful ban on firearms at State Fair yesterday. https://members.tsra.com/ct.php?lid=313738403&mm=102845925797
