IF this passes and becomes law, and State Fair thumbs its nose at the new code, 100 license holders should show up every day to be denied entry. See how the Fair likes to lose $100k per day.

I'm in!
Can't think of any better reason to go to the Fair.

I hold no hope that, no matter what the Texas Legislature and Governor do, Dallas is going to allow legal firearms at the State Fair. I use the same logic for them that I use for Sprouts Farmers Market, Whole Foods and the other store chains that post 30.06 signs. They would rather go out of business than give up their political ideology. No reasonable person could make the case that LTC holders are a danger to society after the decades of statistics that prove they are not. This is not now nor ever has been about what is good for society.

There was a native American practice called counting coup. It involved going up to the enemy and touching them. The Dallas and Fort Worth Zoos are evidence of counting coup. Now, the State Fair is another piece of that evidence.
