Re: No guns allowed at South Texas State Fair

The fair is being held at Ford Park, a county owned facility. I believe that either the article has been edited to reflect anti 2a by omitting the pertinent law or the "gun expert" is not an expert & didnt cite the law.
But gun expert Stephen “doc” Watson disagrees with the idea because licensed gun carriers have to go through multiple gun checks in order to legally carry.

“The fact of the matter is that a person in the state of Texas who has a license to carry has been vetted with the FBI,” Watson said. “Two background checks. Fingerprints and has been vetted and are far safer than the people working the fair. We don't know who they are.”

Doc hopes an exception is made in the future for such a popular event like the South Texas State Fair.

If I decide to visit the fair, I will be lawfully carrying.
