Oh, you mean they're contemporary Republicans.

Yep!

Well $10k is a lot for smaller cities. Also, if they try to "enforce it" then they are opening themselves up to a lawsuit at the state or possibly even federal level. You can't just make stuff up and get away with it (yet). Open carry will eventually force the issue.

Grapevine gots money. Lots of it. A significant portion of DFW airport is on Grapevine land, and the city gets a portion of the taxes/fees the airport collects from various sources..... like landing fees, etc., etc., etc.

Remember, this is the city whose police dept was completely willing to arrest, and whose prosecutor was willing to prosecute, CHLs for carrying past the 30.06 signs at the Mall during the years which said signs were invalid and unenforceable.

I used to go to Grapefest when I first moved here to Grapevine. I stopped when the city started posting invalid 30.06 signs at the entry gates......which were located out in the middle of Main St.....not even next to, let alone in a city-owned building. Signs which I assume were - just as for the Grapevine Mills mall - unenforceable according to the letter of the law. I used to love living in Grapevine. Not so much anymore..... The city fathers talk like they are conservatives, but they're not.
