I was going to do an update on the proposed Austin/Travis County gun show ban, but Dwight has already hit the highlights.
Quick tl:dr summary:
Travis County Commissioners discussed the ban, but didn’t vote on it.
They’re going to have an “executive” (i.e. closed) session with their attorney.
Houston tried to pull a similar stunt and ended up paying $50,000+ in legal fees.
Dwight has added fax numbers so people from 1987 can voice their displeasure as well.
If you live in Travis County, I’d advise you to call, email, and writer your County Commissioner/City Councilman, if you haven’t already.

I’ve updated that post with some additional information from the Statesman’s story, which has also been updated. tl,dr; Judge Biscoe and the court want to get an opinion from the county’s attorneys. They’re making noises like they expect their lawyers to tell them…”expect a double-barrelled lawsuit if you go through with this”. So to speak.
