No More LTC Allowed At Texas State Fair

[leVieux]

The funny thing is that virtually NOBODY is okay with "shall not be infringed." When push comes to shove, a lot of us are very okay with violent felons never being returned their infringed rights. We are okay to infringe the rights of the mental unstable. And for whatever reason, we don't even have rights unless we are at least 18, which certainly infringes on those under 18, LOL.

Why does that matter ? As it is in the original Bill of RIGHTS, it is enshrined as the ‘’Supreme Law of the
Land”.

Tell us, which other enumerated RIGHT do States & Localities get to stomp on with impunity ?

NRA has submitted a brief to Paxton as an interested party to the case. https://www.nraila.org/media/3023/2024-texas-state-fair-board-brief.pdf

Getting closer to that 15 day deadline and still no reversal by the state fair. Wonder if this suit will go forth and we get case law out of it.

I received that in an email too. You are 100% right about the deadline. I just wonder if the Legislators will have a fix for this next year?

You won't be able to carry. They will have private security screening at the gates and they will physically restrain you from going in carrying. I guess you could shoot them, and go in anyway, but I don't think that would work for very long.

 

[ScottDLS]

All they would need to do is consider one area an educational facility, just like the Dallas and Ft Worth zoos. They could have someone do a 5 minute educational tour of barnyard animals to children and probably get away with the designation.

That's not how the Dallas Zoo got around it. The Dallas Zoo is an 'amusement park' under the GC 411 meaning. The Fort Worth zoo says they are a school but they are not. If they don't have metal detectors, I would carry there anyway.

Worked for the last guy.....

 

[ScottDLS]

Just curious if the state fair at fair park is classified as an amusement park, which is listed in 46.03.

No it isn't, it doesn't meet the statutory definition.

Gee’ either we have a LAW, or we don’t.

I hope to see Paxton take ‘em to Court !

And in 2032 when the State Supreme Court rules on the final appeal, we will have gone 8 years with no carry at the Fair.

....and the Fair goes bankrupt, closing its gates in 2031.

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.

It sucks that the law will take a year to solve the debate, but the biggest hammer we have is to stop giving these folks who choose to not support you and make you prey any of our money.

I know it I’m an old fogie, but what in God’s green earth does a fair have to offer that is worth the risk? Suck it up and go patronize a business or place that supports you while the BS legal process plays out.

If the state fair goes bankrupt in the meantime; who actually gives a hoot??

100% agreement. The problem is the gun owners will not for-go the fair while it plays out. I am not for sure how much loss of revenue would be, but hopefully it would be enough to make them change their mind.

Butter sculptures and fried things that were never meant to be fried, apparently. And a large, poorly-proportioned and easily combustible golem that people inexplicably love.

I'm not going!

Never been, don't plan on going.

This is the only thing that is worthwhile

Approximately 518,000 Fletcher's Original Corny Dogs were sold during the 24-day run of the State Fair of Texas (2023)

Me and my wife either. Of course we never spend money other than lunch. We have picked another activity during October.
