Dumb, even for Texas

Time has an article by Jack Linshi about a plan that wasn't well thought out:

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) recently withdrew a proposal to allow sales of alcohol at some gun shows, after receiving a barrage of public comments against the plan. The plan would have enforced strict conditions, including a ban on live ammunition and requiring the show’s venue to have a liquor license, the Associated Press reports. Still, many critics, including gun show operators, felt that mixing guns and alcohol was dangerous:

“I am a licensed gun dealer. I think the sale of alcohol at gun shows is unwise,” wrote one person commenting on the plan. “As an industry, we are already under a microscope. From a safety view point, the sale of alcohol at gun shows is pure folly. I am against this.”

Under current laws, a liquor-licensed venue hosting a gun show is forbidden to sell alcohol during the show, as well as during the set up and take down processes, according to the TABC website.
