The State Fair of Texas has announced that firearms will be prohibited at this year’s event, a decision that has drawn criticism from gun rights advocates.
Held annually in Dallas since 1886, the fair attracts millions of visitors each year. This week, organizers introduced a new set of safety regulations, which include a ban on all firearms, even for those with a license to carry.
Previously, licensed individuals were permitted to carry firearms at the fair. However, last year, three people were injured in a shooting at the fair’s food court. The shooter, Cameron Turner, did not possess a license.
Chris McNutt, president of Texas Gun Rights, criticized the new policy, stating that it endangers attendees.
