He was indicted for aggravated assault X3

From the article:

So bad guy does not follow the rules, and shoots somebody. And the response is to not allow any good guys to carry guns? They've already proven they are NOT able to stop a bad guy from getting a gun...

I imagine that’s what their lawyers advised them to do.

Dumb lawyers.

Isn't that always the case? One bad actor ruins for everyone.

Yes, From both your post you sound scared or apprehensive. Your comments are full of double talk, they are just now starting no guns, but you said you have had policy of not setting foot inside the fair ground for over a decade.

I worked almost daily, had rental property in Fair Park for years, and before that I had a warehouse steps away from the front entrance of Fair Park. Sounds like you may of never been to the area.

The people who grew up in Dallas area are not afraid of Dallas or FW. Fair Park/Cotton Bowl area is where we all used to go the Texxas Jams in the 80's, We would go to concerts like The Rolling Stones each year they come thru Dallas, and State Fair is where you go in the Fall, it's a Texas Tradition. Going to Dallas and crusing around was what we did growing up and still to this day I will make an occasional trip to Dallas, it's feels like going home.

I was lucky I was raised in both country and city and had the best of both worlds growing up in Irving, we hunted land off Beltline from 114 to where 635 , hunting mostly dove and some quail, and we had land in Aubrey for ducks and squirrels.

I can see people like you whom wasn't raised around a big city like Dallas having concerned, but for us who grew up in the area it's just another spot on the map and we have alot of good memories. If you think DFW is bad I suggest you travel around the world and expand your horizons, I hear places like Chicago or Detroit have some pretty rough area. But since you don't go anywhere they don't allow guns I guess you won't be flying any where, Last I checked DFW was like the 2nd busiest airport in the world.

I will be making my annual trip to the State Fair once the weather gets perfect this Fall. You can spend the whole day catching all the free shows like Bird Show, Pig Races, Stunt Shows, Dog Show, etc and eat all kind of different food.

It is not fear, or concern. I just don't want to be around you people, when I don't have to.

Heard this morning that Paxton is fighting their attempt to make it a gun free zone. I doubt I'll be attending either way, haven't been to the fair in about 5yrs and wouldn't miss it if I never went again.

I last went to the fair two years ago to look at trucks. The rest of the fair, nope, the wife and I agreed never again. Not worth it.

Paxton is trying to get this changed.

Not fear or concern for me either and I can carry anywhere I want to carry.... but I don't like congested functions and don't put myself in that situation.

Saw that. Good news.

Exactly.

I haven’t lost anything at the fair I need to go back for….my last one was about 10 years ago! Emphasis on last!

Exactly.

The ONLY thing that has ever stopped a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

Show me a "gun control" measure that does NOT take guns out of the hands of good guys and succeeds taking guns from the hands of bad guys and I'll be all for it. Haven't seen one yet, though.

Yea that place is a chit hole, and I'd never go there and not carry. Not that I'll be returning anyway.

Last time we went was myself, wife, son, mother in law, and mother in law's brother who was visiting from Peru.

This was on "high school night" it was an absolute mad house hour line waits just to get the tickets to ride the rides. Think Colt actually got to ride 2 the entire time we were there. There was zero parking in any of the parking lots, so we tried a side lot and the Hispanic lady that was taking money at the gate said my truck was too big and I couldn't park in there. Finally saw someone pulling out of a parking spot and we hopped in, my truck was surrounded by probably 1000 other vehicles. Come out of the fair and sure enough all the vehicles I parked beside were still there, but guess what my Raptor had vanished. This is at 11PM and the huge crowds up and down the streets were already pretty large. I flagged down a police officer and told him I thought my truck might have gotten stolen and he said nope it was towed. Asked him if he knew who the tow company was, he said not but that gas station might know. So whole family walked through the crowds of rambunctious teens to the gas station. I guess the gas station owner was getting pretty fearful because before I could get to the door they were locking up and closing down. Walked down to the next place and asked the person behind the counter and they had no clue and wasn't paying much attention because their store was overrun with people. I just happened to see a tow company sign on the dumpster of the gas station. Called the number and asked them if they had my truck, sure enough they had it on the other side of HWY75. By this time it was around 12AM and the crowds were massive. We were getting some pretty serious looks and we walked closer to the road where the police were parked, I went up to police officer and let him know I found the truck and he told me I should probably get my family out of the area and he was surprised there hadn't been any shootings or stabbings yet.

Brought up the Uber app to get a ride to the tow yard, the Uber app literally made us walk a mile and a half because the area we were in was too dangerous for pickup. After all that and around $380 tow fee we were on our way home from the fair around 1:30ish.

I'll never go back to that chit hole again

It's not about being scared RR it's about being smart.

Yeah, but he isn't smart.
So there's that.

^ This right here! Word!

I always go during the week like on Wednesday, If you know the area you know where to park. You park at the "Starplex" parking ground where all the concerts are, it runs about $20 but your inside the fair ground and next to the all the barns and where they do the place where they let you drive the new Chevy Trucks around the course.

I have even worked at the Fair in the past, You just got to know the area and how the game is played there with parking.

Sure you can be armed at work, why let others tell you what to do? Go find a job where you can make your own rules and not have someone tell you what to do?

You stated any entity that take away your right to carry a gun will not see your business, but then you go work at a place that will not allow you to carry, your statements just don't jive.

Then you said you need police with you to go to the "Big City".

Probably more than 50% of people on the THF carry a gun, it's not that big of deal.

I remember old ladies in the 70's and 80's who would carry a pistol in their purse

I never find any food inside that food court that I like to eat, All the good food seems to be located outside while walking around. That area is a good place to be able to sit down and chill out during the day if it's hot.

I always try to hit the car and truck show display area at the heat of day, they keep it pretty cool and go chill out in the massage chairs area where you can try them out for free

It is department policy. No carrying on duty.

You don't read so well. I carry every day, just not at work.

Like I said why do you let others tell you what to do, If you choose to work at a place that will not let you carry a gun then that's on you bud.

Seem like your job or your "Entity" doesn't allow you to carry and you comply, Which contradicts what you say.

You think it's a big deal to carry gun in Texas? Geez you must be young. I remember going to night clubs in Dallas in the mid 80's lots of dudes carry pistols back then, Why I have no clue, I guess they thought they were cool.

Let me give you a newsflash, lot of people carry everyday, it's just not that big of deal.

How is Epstein's next island doing

The State Fair doubled down and responded to Paxton that they are a private entity and can do whatever they want as far as gun possession at the event.
