Venezuela is the most recent example of what happens when you believe socialism will work THIS time.Quote:

Short summary and context: For many years, the State Fair of Texas had a no firearms policy unless you had a valid LTC (license to carry). If you presented a valid LTC at the entrance gate, a Dallas police officer would inspect and allow entry with conceal carry. Last year, some gangbangin’ thug teenager shot at some other teens. That has now prompted the State Fair to change policy and say no guns including LTC holders, even though it wasn’t a legal responsible citizen but a criminal that caused last year’s issue.
Their loss. I despise going to the State Fair. I suffer through it because I have kids that enjoy it and I try to be a good dad. It’s too crowded & too damn expensive. This year my family won’t be going though. I support our police, but ultimately I am responsible for my family’s safety. They cannot 100% guarantee there will not be something like last year where a thug snuck in a gun, and this new policy would restrict my effectiveness to respond to a deadly threat. Sucks for my 10 year old daughters, but we’ll find something else.
I wrote to my mayor, council person, and state representative my grievance and urged them to take action to revert the State Fair of Texas firearm policy & allow LTC holders to conceal carry. Hope the true native Texans give the State Fair the Bud Light treatment.
The fuck you want them to do? It isn't a Government organization.Quote:
