Texas State Fair's Gun Ban Sparks Legal Showdown

Attorney General Ken Paxton threatens to sue Dallas over the fair's new firearms policy, citing Second Amendment rights.

The State Fair of Texas announced a ban on firearms following a 2023 shooting incident that injured three people.
Attorney General Ken Paxton argues the ban violates state law, as the fair is held on city-owned property.
Paxton has given the city of Dallas 15 days to rescind the ban or face legal action.
The new policy has received both support and criticism, with over 70 Republican lawmakers opposing it.
Fair officials defend the decision, emphasizing enhanced security measures for the upcoming event.
