So you attend the fair unarmed?

[Frank_N_Stein]

I am pretty sure I have read articles where carrying at the fair just gets you a friendly reminder to leave.

Funny, I have never been reminded to leave because no one has ever been the wiser that I was carrying.

Ever seen a morbidly obese woman ride a mechanical bull for 1.58 seconds?

I have.

Go on...

Banned from the property might be an issue if you have other reasons to go there that aren't fair related, though.

Set your Taser to "defibrillate" and stand by.

I wouldn't go to the fair armed, or unarmed. Crowds of annoying people don't really appeal to me.

 

[lovemachine]

I kinda want to go to the fair now...

How are the people annoying?

Last year was the first time I've ever been to the Indiana state fair, it was ok, weather was pretty decent, crowd wasn't bad, but, I prefer the Kentucky state fair, much bigger, much more indoor stuff in case the weather sucks, and it's a WAY shorter drive. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather not go to either, but if I had to choose.......

Not a fan of crowds in general, especially "festival" type crowds. There's always loud obnoxious people around. I prefer a more quiet atmosphere for entertainment.

I try hard not to spend money in places that do not recognize my right to self defense...(though I did pay to go into the Hoover Dam this year)

So you've obviously never been to the Indiana State Fair, because it isn't a "festival" type event and the crowd isn't loud and obnoxious.

There's obviously some obnoxious people, and violent too.

Go on...

Well, that's basically the story. I saw a morbidly obese woman ride a mechanical bull for 1.58 seconds at the fair. She hit HARD when the bull dipped it's "head" the first time.

My partner and I were there (off duty) and he looked at me and said "what did she think was going to happen?" My response, "Dunno, but she was defeated by her arch-nemesis...gravity."

 

[Cameramonkey]

Sounds like a good time to me. I've been practicing my parade wave for these occurrences.

Unless you havent finished eating your way through the fair. Imagine being yanked out of your seat during the first 10 minutes of the movie. You'd be annoyed.

Funny, I have never been reminded to leave because no one has ever been the wiser that I was carrying.

What a coincidence. (allegedly)

Go on...

You're welcome.

I could probably stay on the bull for 1.65 seconds. Gravity is also my arch-nemesis.

Much like that, but a slide onto the head instead of a forward roll.

 

[JettaKnight]

I do not go because it costs way to damn much these days.

I wish that was my only issue. Every year I get free access (I'm a judge), and every year I don't go... traveling from Fort Wayne and trying to fit it in my schedule...

Been there. Done that.

"Secret service" can, because I had one of them open his jacket up and show me when I blocked his car for parking on my lot when I had taped it off. Told him not to park, he told me he was secret service and showed me his glock in his jacket. What a gaping dickhole.

So... wear a jacket, carry a Glock, and claim to be Secret Service for great parking.

Got it.
