Quote HistoryQuoted: I know you used to be able to conceal carry with a LTC. Not sure about this year. We had one shooting in Oklahoma City state fair grounds this past September. (Kid had a handgun) Originally the press was saying they think there was a breach in the fence line. I'd say the new scanners suck donkey bawls. |

I’ve been going to the State Fair of Texas since I was in diapers. There used to be Dallas PD cops everywhere on foot, motors, golf carts, and deer stands. They were always exceptionally friendly and professional. Fair park is surrounded by hood.
Nowadays. You don’t go to the fair after dark because of reasons. Dallas PD has done an amazing job over the years keeping the fair goers safe. Staffing levels have been low as a result of BLM. This will continue to get worse. |

You couldn’t go 20 feet without seeing an officer. Now the rule of thumb is “don’t go after dark”. |

Lefties on X are losing their minds and blaming this on Abbott already. You are supposed to show your LTC to an officer at the gate when you enter the fair. Reports from some on X are they were ignoring the scanners when people were entering. Fair Park has been a dangerous place for 50 years.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Smart people don’t go to Dallas after the sun goes down. Shit. I party evenings in Dallas about once every couple months. Fantastic live music scene. Safe as houses. The state fair has always been shady and there are parts of dallas where you might oughta be alert. There's no place I would would call dangerous. Even the hood bars aren't a threat to life and limb. |

I hear and see all these stories about gang violence at state fairs. It’s scary, but I think it’s encouraging that these gang members are taking an interest in livestock, agriculture and farm crafts that the fairs are all about.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes you are allowed to carry concealed into the fair if you have a license, I've done it multiple times over the years. Straight from the website "A person holding a valid Texas License to Carry a Handgun (LTC), or a valid handgun license from a reciprocating state, is permitted to enter the Fair with his or her concealed handgun, provided that he or she thereafter fully complies with all applicable laws." They do prohibit open carry however. Given the part of Dallas that it's in I would never go unarmed, DPD and other LE agencies have always had a big presence at the fairgrounds but they can't be everywhere and the walk back to where you parked can be sketchy if you aren't in a main lot. I was being in GD mode and joking about doing it quietly since he asked if it was “aloud.” |

I don’t go in that part of Dallas without a full size handgun a clambered round, standard size mag in the gun, and two spare magazines. It is one of the few times I use as holder holster.
The State Fair is located in a sporty neighborhood. |
