Editor’s Note: After losing arguments in both a Dallas district court and a state appeals court, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took his challenge of the State Fair of Texas’s gun policy to the Texas Supreme Court on Wednesday. Late Thursday night, the Texas Supreme Court declined Paxton’s petition, allowing the State Fair to enforce its ban on firearms. Justice James Blacklock responded to the petition, stating that the court could not order the State Fair to allow handguns when the State’s argument didn’t challenge the Fair’s legal authority to exclude them.
