AG真人百家乐 County commissioners have at the AG真人百家乐 County Expo Center.
The commissioners court was set to discuss the possibility of banning gun shows at the County Expo Center today. But after consulting with legal counsel behind closed doors, commissioners unanimously approved a different motion.
County Judge Sam Biscoe proposed that the county honor all existing gun shows at the expo center, but ask the director of the center to liaison with the court about future shows, especially events including 鈥渁ny licenses involving any usually high safety risks.鈥�
It鈥檚 unsure what ability the county would have had to regulate gun shows. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott had threatened legal action against the county if commissioners banned gun shows on county property. In a statement today, he said 鈥淎G真人百家乐 County Commissioners did the right thing by following the law and continuing to allow gun shows on county property. The City of Austin should do the same. 鈥�
The Austin City Council鈥檚 is set to discuss gun shows at the expo center later today, 鈥� although that discussion will take place behind closed doors in a legal briefing to council members. While the center is owned and operated by the county, it sits on city land.
The meeting is scheduled at 3 p.m. today.
