However the NRA has slammed the proposals warning its approval would result in too many restrictions and could “end these events as we know them”, as reported by The Wire.
“The proposed rules as currently written, could have a devastating impact on Friends of NRA (FONRA) events in the Lone Star State,” it said.
“And even though, as mentioned earlier, these new regulations were ostensibly drafted to allow alcohol sales at gun shows, they could actually end these events as we know them – even if the promoter had NO plans to sell alcohol on-premises,” it added.
A Texas affiliate of the National Rifle Association said called the proposal “confusing” questioning why anyone would want to attend a gun show if they could not take possession of their gun .
A 30-day public consultation will be held before any decision is made.
Earlier this year a gun range in Oklahoma was given permission to serve alcohol before it had even opened.
