CCW at the state fair

[encorehunter]

Has anyone carried at the state fair? I know there is a no weapons sign at the gate, and they do have metal detector wands. I have asked the last two years at the gate and they say it is allowed with a ccw permit. They give you a colored bracelet so PD can identify you as carrying. I asked if it was matching shiny bracelets, the one female just laughed. Last year, the gentleman said no matching shiny bracelets, it is allowed. I haven't chanced it yet.

I went yesterday to watch rodeo :-) it was excellent. At the gate they where checking every third person :-), whooo missed me LOL. Just a joke I followed all law abiding rules at the fair..

This started a few years back when I got to the gate and realized I still had my pistol on. I took it back to the truck and came back while my family waited for me. It was then the gate person told me it was allowed, they just marked you withba different colored bracelet. At the time, I was still a deputy coroner. I try to follow what the signs say, but this has made me curious.

Wouldn't the different color defeat the point of carrying it concealed?

At least every CC would be able to identify every other CC at the fair.

Like the Israeli police putting colored tape on their firearms to identify themselves in a firefight. If you have yellow tape on your gun don?t shoot a guy who also has yellow tape on his gun.

The bigger question is do you get a discount at any of the food vendors for having the correct color wrist band?

Um, I really do have yellow tape on my rifle. . .

Because pinstripes make things go faster.
