Iowa State Fair gun ban to stay in place.

[47of74]

Yeah, probably a good idea;

As expected, a ban on guns at the Iowa State Fair will remain in place this year. The news comes after a heated legislative committee hearing in which people argued both for and against allowing fair-goes to carry guns.

The Des Moines Register reports that several people spoke Friday at a meeting of the Iowa Legislature's Administrative Rules Review Committee against allowing guns at the fair. Opponents described scenarios in which drunken and irresponsible guests toting handguns could create dangerous situations.

But Richard Rogers, an Iowa Firearms Coalition board member, said he questions the Fair Board's authority to ban guns when the state has authorized some to carry them. He said the ban leaves people defenseless if someone else brings a gun to the fair and begins shooting.

Sigh. Spare us the Good Guy With A Gun™ bullshit Richard. We seen how well that didn't work already.

1. Exactly. The specious "good guy/cowboy who is going to defend us" is a Trumpism. Any gunner who

thinks that, should have his gunz confiscated immediately for public safety.

The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies made contact with 25-year-old John Crum for an alcohol violation around 10 p.m. During the investigation, Crum was found to be in possession of a concealed handgun. He had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, however the permit was invalid due to intoxication.

Crum was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon and public consumption of alcohol. He was released from the Fremont County jail after posting $2,300 bond.

Concealed carry permit stays invalid I hope.

3. Oy,

I have a feeling we might see Mr. Crum in the news again doing something stupid with his firearm.
