Re: NO GUNS at the Bloomsburg Fair
They are making it more difficult for the law abiding to carry a legal firearm at sporting events, and public events like these. Recently, I was patted down going into a Phillies game. I felt like a criminal, yet had done nothing wrong. I did not bring a firearm as they no longer allow LTCF holders to secure their firearms in lockers.
I smell DHS/TSA encouraging local communities to ban firearms, and search people's bags. Next will be pat downs, or airport like security at public events.
This is NOT a good trend folks.

BTW, if it hasn't already been mentioned, everyone with a Facebook account should let their feelings be known on the official Bloomsburg Fair FB page.

Re: NO GUNS at the Bloomsburg Fair
I sent in my emails to their little braintrust advising I was not going to attend. I also asked how they planned to keep the bad guys out with guns if they don't have airport level metal detectors, and body scanners. I guess they feel that their volunteer busybody bag searchers and child gropers will suffice..

Re: NO GUNS at the Bloomsburg Fair
All fellow legal gun carriers,
I have just gotten off the phone with Mr. Barrett. Here is the latest and you will enjoy this.
If you have a PTCF, you will be able to carry into the fairgrounds, this was a misunderstanding. He said he will be searching "backpacks". No patdowns will be done and he will not be asking to see permits due to the lines trying to enter the grounds.
He stated to me that DHS sent 7 agents to discuss this with him and he needed to do something. He agrees this is a violation of gun owners rights.
If you doubt anything that has been said here, call him yourself. The number was posted on page 1 of this forum. Be nice to him and don't accuse him of violations...this is where some people have screwed up. If you don't talk to him like civilized people then you are not going to do anything but hurt our rights to carry in the future.

Re: NO GUNS at the Bloomsburg Fair
This is the email I just got back and it made my head spin with anger!
"The decision was made because of Homeland Security and the Pennsylvania
State Police telling us no guns, however if you have a permit you will be
allowed to carry your gun conceiled. Rod"
This was from Rod Ralston, I believe he is the secretary
Can somebody tell me when we started letting homeland security or PSP tell us when we can exercise our rights and when we can't?
