Texas AG Paxton Sues Dallas Over State Fair Gun Ban

Lawsuit challenges the legality of firearm prohibition at the annual event, citing state law on public property rights.

  • Paxton argues the gun ban violates state law allowing firearms on government-owned property.
  • Dallas officials contend the State Fair is a private event and the city is not involved in the policy.
  • The new gun policy follows a shooting incident at last year's fair, which injured three people.
  • The lawsuit seeks to block the enforcement of the gun ban and prevent arrests for carrying firearms.
  • Republican lawmakers and gun rights advocates have criticized the ban as an infringement on Second Amendment rights.
