The State Fair of Texas will be allowed to enforce its ban on guns when it opens a week from Friday. The fair announced the ban last month as a result of a shooting in the food court last year that injured three people.

The State Fair of Texas' rule does not allow license-to-carry holders to bring their guns in. Current police and retired officers are exempt.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ordered the City of Dallas to rescind the ban, or his office would sue.
