Both jurisdictions are pondering banning gun shows at city- and county-owned venues. At least two venues and shows would be impacted, the Saxet Trade Shows that exhibit twice a month at the Travis County Expo Center and Premiere Gun Shows. They exhibit at the North Austin Event Center. I&#8217;ve attended both. They tend to attract large crowds of customers to trade with the exhibitors, who sell everything from antique guns and swords to clothing, framed artwork and turkey jerky. These shows generate economic activity in the areas around the venues and in the venues themselves, and help sellers from around the region find congregated and ready buyers.]]>Fri, 11 Jan 2013 10:08:37 -0500<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2013/01/11/texas-ag-abbott-the-second-amendment-is-not-a-philosophical-belief-it-is-a-constitutional-guarantee-n175922
