David Coale, an attorney at Lynn Pinker Hurst & Schwegmann, offers a legal perspective on the Texas State Fair’s recent decision to ban concealed handguns at this year’s event.

In his commentary for The Dallas Morning News titled “Guns at State Fair of Texas: balancing rights with common sense,” Mr. Coale explores how the threat of litigation from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton highlights the “grey area” in Texas firearms law.

Speaking with North Texas’ NPR station KERA, Mr. Coale remarked, “While the State Fair of Texas is just one business among many, its actions carry significant symbolic weight. The outcome of this case will likely impact business owners across the state.”
