Using Alcohol to Shut Down Gun Shows?!?


"But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand."
Ezekiel 33:6

The Texas State Rifle Association warns about an ominous proposal:
State agencies, such at the TABC, are tasked with creating operational rules within compliance with state law. On occasion agency rules are reviewed and updated to track current law. In this case current law has not changed. Two weeks ago, TSRA was alerted to a rule revision within TABC rule 36.1 firearms. At first reading the proposed changes appeared to be simply "not good" but concern grew with every subsequent reading.

Phone calls to the agency, requesting clarification, have not been encouraging.

The changes deal with locations, private and public, with a TABC license or permit to sell alcohol, regardless of whether alcohol is sold or consumed. . .

Without question the proposed changes as written could have a devastating effect on gun shows and to various fundraising events such as FONRA, DU, TSRA Foundation and many others.
