Texas Supreme Court denies Ken Paxton's latest attempt to block state fair gun ban
"This Court cannot possibly order the State Fair to allow handguns to be carried at this year’s Fair when the party seeking that relief does not even argue that Texas law obligates the Fair to do so," one of the justices wrote in a legal opinion.
The State Fair of Texas banned guns on the fairgrounds after a shooting last year that injured three people.
Only peace officers are allowed to carry firearms now.
