The Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced Tuesday it has filed a new lawsuit challenging Texas laws that prohibit carrying firearms at certain public locations, including businesses that primarily serve alcohol, racetracks and sporting events. The suit, Ziegenfuss v. McCraw, seeks to end what the plaintiffs argue are unconstitutional restrictions on law-abiding citizens’ right to carry firearms in public.

Filed in a Texas federal court, the lawsuit asserts that current restrictions on carrying firearms at these locations are excessive and cannot be justified by historical precedent. The complaint argues that such areas “are not so-called ‘sensitive places’” under Second Amendment interpretation, contending that restrictions in these locations lack historical foundation dating back to the time of the Founding.

“FPC already struck down Texas’s ban on firearm carry for adults under the age of 21,” FPC President Brandon Combs stated. “We now set our sights on ending enforcement of these locational bans so that all peaceable adults may carry firearms in public places without fear of criminal prosecution.”

Combs also highlighted the suit as part of FPC’s broader campaign to challenge carry restrictions across the United States.

The Ziegenfuss case adds to FPC’s strategic litigation efforts, with support from the FPC Action Foundation and legal representation by Benbrook Law Group, P.C., and Cooper & Scully, P.C. The full complaint can be viewed on FPC’s website at firearmspolicy.org/ziegenfuss.

  1. Anywhere there are unarmed citizens there are armed criminals and if it is not with a firearm it’s with a knife, brick, fists, feet, etc. It’s setup for the criminal to win and you and yours to lose.

    • Huntmaster,

      They (the Ruling Class) understand full well. They simply reject limitations on their ambitions to ever increase their power, wealth, and control.

    • Perhaps when DC or the one does a kiddy’s comic book, then progs will be able to understand the Constitution. It just has so many words!

  2. About time

    The stupid part is where the sign is that notifies you of the 51%. I was at a restaurant the other day that I have been to quite often and just happened to be seated in a different area and when I got up to go to the restroom, saw the damn sign.

    My thought is if it is a felony for me to carry there, put the damn sign on the front door, not on an interior wall

  3. Racetracks and sporting events have gambling.
    Look what gambling did for Paddock.
    Not a good outcome.
    Hopefully Queen Kamala can change this alchohol,racetrack,guns,and sporting event thing.
    No private citizen should have or need a gun anyway.
    ????? Will our cakes be frosted?????
