Of course not... it's forbidden

They visually checked purses and bags but there were no metal detectors and no pat downs. I am sure everyone followed the sign banning weapons...

Well the black powder rifle EDC crowd is going to be pissed.

Well no need since the sign deterred all criminals right there.
I go to the Erie County Fair every year. Every year, I have a gun. No wand or metal detector, gun.

And even the bag check was a joke. I pulled the sling pack off my shoulder and put in on the table. Looked at the guy and said "what do you want to see?" as I opened the main compartment. The guy said "It's not what I want to see. It's what I'm looking for, and you don't have it. Enjoy!" He definitely wasn't interested in the other two visible pockets nor the CCW pocket. And he clearly didn't care about what was in the two nalgene bottles attached to the bag.
That said, you couldn't swing a baseball bat in there without hitting a Trooper. I wonder how much the OT budget is for fair coverage.

Same here. They check my wife’s bag and I put my knife in my pocket and walk right by with my gun. I stand there laughing while I wait for her harmless purse to be inspected.
My son and wife were laughing about the same thing as well.

Why would the Erie County Fairgrounds pay for NYSP OT at the NYS Fair?
Same reason as the Buffalo Bills and all other high profile events. Security guards are not enough protection.
Departments are hired out all of the time for these events.

Same here. I breezed on through with my CCW while my wife and daughter had to have their purses checked. The Mrs. was giving me the stink eye the whole time.
My god, are we all married to the same person. The stink eye from mine could have killed babies.

Mine too. I stood there and told him that he might find Jimmy Hoffa in that purse. With all the other shit she crams in there, it's entirely possible. I think my .45 was digging into my hip while I was waiting.
Was fun to sit on those aluminum benches on the midway and having that "clang" off the backrest every time I sit down.
I actually think it is funny that so many that can carry do not carry at places like this.

I went, but didn't carry.. I rreally wanted to and actually started to grab a pistol but all my holsters are outside carry.. didn't feel like wearing a long cover shirt or even having my little 380 dragging my pants down knowing there was a lot of walking to be done..

I don’t understand why posts like this come up? Carry. Watch. Observe. If they are wanding, bring it back to your car. If you see that they aren’t, go on through. I have been to many haunted houses. Some wand and some don’t. I walk up to the front of the line and watch. If I see that all that they are doing is checking backpacks and women’s purses, I go back to my family in line and go on through. What’s the worst that happen? “You cannot bring that in here sir. Okay. I’ll be right back.”

The Dutchess county fair had the same rule, no guns, knives, etc. Yet, there was a vendor selling knives. I guess they figure if you were allowed to bring in your own, you were less likely to buy one there. Kind of like food at a ballpark.
