Washington State Fair adds metal detectors, beefs up security

Waiting to get into the Washington State Fair this year might feel like waiting to go through airport security. For the first time in 119 years, the fair has installed metal detectors and staff will check bags.

Good for them. It means they do not want any of my money. As has been said by a few here. My wallet and my gun are best buddies. Where one is not welcome the other does not go.

Because that worked out so well at the Gilroy Garlic Festival.

 

[Ops]

your choice same as theirs , it wont go out of business

And I have no problem with that. It's a business decision. Any one who sets up something should have the free choice. As long as this is not done with tax payer money if it loses money. If they can tell gun owners to pound sand and still make a buck? Great for them. If they want me to help pay for it? Then I would have a problem with it. No idea how this works. Have to assume they don't do these at a loss though?

So I guess the Washington State Preemption means nothing?

Is this a public event on public owned land?

All laws mean only what some Judge tells you they mean.

As far as I know it is a private event on private land. I have not verified that.

The Washington State Fair is a private, not-for-profit, 501-C3 corporation. It receives no government subsidy, and pays city and state taxes. Any proceeds are invested back into the Fair for improvements.

Sounds good to me then. They are welcome to tell gun owners they don't want them.

No fair this year for me, looks like a good spot for a blood bath. No place for anyone with common sense.

And it basically owns the City of Puyallup and its municipal government.

The fairs out here are on county grounds from what I can tell.

I went to one of them when I first moved out west.

(It is different than many of the fairs that I went to back east. Small and large ones in farm/lake country.)

Meanwhile in Montana...

They ARRESTED SOME MAN yesterday or the day before because he threatened to murder people at the RAVALLI COUNTY FAIR which is close to this MT college town.

A person that he knew reported him to the police. The man was complaining about his lot in life and being POOR so he wanted to murder people. NO s!

He mentioned this to his social worker and sister too.

It was all over our local news.

Missoula man charged with felony intimidation after mass shooting threat

A man is being held in Ravalli County Jail in Hamilton on a felony charge of intimidation after being accused of a mass shooting threat in Ravalli County. According to court documents, Austin Jace Fugleberg, 26, communicated "a threat of disaster that would endanger life or property. "...

It took from August 16th to August 24th to check it out. Plus on other websites, he keeps on repeating that he wants to murder people at the FAIR.
