And the fine if there is one would be paid by Austin and not the shows promoter. If things were filed now that could be a very hefty fine even if the show was only 6 days depending upon what the AG felt the start of the fine day was. Might be a years worth of fines.Skiprr wrote:Wholly understand. That's why I think that, even though it would have no effect this year, the matter should be taken to the Attorney General.

Re: Austin City Limits Festival
Same question I had. So, someone needs to file a complaint with the city, when they refuse to do anything submit to the AG and see what happens.casp625 wrote:KP-108 references a non profit entity that leases government property, has its own board of directors, and the city is at arms-length from making any policies. How is that similar to a city park being utilized for an event?

Re: Austin City Limits Festival
You believe that a private event on municipal property can outright ban LTC holders from carrying? Why would that be legal?AustinNative04 wrote:I'm not agreeing with or advocating that there should be a no-guns policy.

Are you in agreement with the anti-gun restrictions enforced at the Austin City Limits Festival?

Re: Austin City Limits Festival
Notify the city now and then file the complaint. They hold the event yearly and if the AG agrees they pay the fine next year if they ban LTC carry. Just did this with our local gun show, illegally posted in March but promoter of the show did not post again in August. Or the promoters have the right to move to a private location. This all depends on how much effort you wish to pursue.Scott Farkus wrote:Or rewrite some laws. It seems even SB273 wasn't enough to get the attention of some of these local officials.Skiprr wrote:Maybe it's time for a new request for opinion from the Texas Attorney General?
So, assuming it's illegal for Austin to do this or allow it to be done on city property, by the time all the requisite complaints have been filed and the requisite notices given and the 15 day period or whatever it is has elapsed, the festival is long since over and there are no signs to take down, or not. So why should they care? If I get pulled over for speeding, do I get two weeks notice not to speed again before the ticket is written?
Tired of this nonsense.
