Concealed carry @ Clark County Fair update?

[shibbershabber]

I've seen some older posts from previous years....

considering how these things change, I thought I'd see if anyone can give info


Clark County Fair website has the usual "no weapons or alcohol" statement.... (yet they sell alcohol)

anyhow, that sounds more like a suggestion than a legal mandate.


so, big question is, who has been?

Are they searching/wanding/metal detectors?????


I went to a concert recently and they had a detector to get into the area... But that was the amphitheater and went in some special way, not the general admission.


anyhow, anyone know how they're running the fair this year?

Highly doubt they are searching or have detectors but I can't say for sure.

I had a glock 43 with me there yesterday and a 26 or 30 every year for the last 5-6 years

I went early yesterday (my wife won 2nd prize in her ceramics category!). Anyway, it was same as last year - they were searching bags & bagpacks, but no personal searches. Not sure if the procedure is any different at night. It's mostly families with kids during the day.

I went yesterday and had no problem. They only searched our backpack.

Trying to make sure there isn't any contraband water bottles so they can charge $3 for 12oz

You make it sound like they're thieves or something

Never had a problem carrying at the Oregon State Fair, I even emailed and asked if the had any separate rules for concerts one year and they did not.

A few years ago I got an email from Chief Jeter of Puyallup PD. He said that the fair runs a metal detector at the entrance, but I can lock my off-duty weapon up in their lockers in a secure area of the fair. Do they still run metal detectors there?

I just tell them that that's my therapy gun.

I went on Saturday and carried, had no issues. They were searching bags, but I was pushing a stroller and had a backpack in the stroller they didn't even check.

There was a sign that said no weapons, but it was out of the way and real specific

I went to a couple of concerts last year at the amphitheater in Ridgefield & they were wanting.
Never went to the fair down there though.

Glad to hear it wasn't suppository therapy! Whoa.

Glad to hear it wasn't suppository therapy! Whoa.

Unfortunately, the last time I did that, I mispronounced or something and all Mr. Wandboy heard was "the rapey gun" instead of my intended "therapy gun". sad days
