70 GOP Lawmakers Demand State Fair Reverse Gun Ban
Aug 13, 2024, 11:30 AM
Over 70 Texas lawmakers, primarily Republicans, are urging the State Fair of Texas to reverse its recent decision to ban firearms on the fairgrounds. This move comes after a shooting incident at the fair last year, which led to the implementation of the gun ban as a safety measure. The lawmakers argue that the ban makes the fair more dangerous, asserting that Texans have the right to defend themselves. A letter signed by 70 GOP lawmakers has been sent to the State Fair's board of directors, demanding the policy's rescission. The debate highlights the ongoing tension in Texas over gun rights and public safety measures, with specific emphasis on concealed carry.
