    Default Bloomsburg Fair CC , Mixed answers !

    We all have read that the fair had banned all weapons. Google searches show articles that say everything from that the rule was reversed for legal carry, The fair can not stop you and bla bla bla.

    I had emailed the fair office and called but was unable to reach a real person. Has any of you been able to contact the fair office and have %100 positive knowledge?

    Not sure what level reassurance you need, but here is some information. http://m.newsitem.com/news/legal-gun...fair-1.1547026

    Be safe (and carry on).

    yeah, but this is from 2013... Remember the accidental shooting in 2014? Things could have changed since then

    I think that was at the gun show. This was about the fair. If you have any contradictory information than what was posted, this would be the place to share it.

    Be safe (and don't just guess).

    The ND was at a gun show, not the fair. They did consider banning guns at the fair last year. They received a lot of push back and lamented. I remember there was a thread about it, I'll try and find it.

    From what I remember, they were asking people not to OC and said they would ask you to cover it if you were. I went last year and CC, no problems. They don't have metal detectors or wands or anything, so they wouldn't know if you concealed anyways.

    Link for the thread last year.

    It was actually 2013 that they tried to ban guns. Last year seems like they didn't even give it a thought.

    Here's the 2013 thread were the drama was.

    Nothing wrong with head banging from time to time.

    I went there yesterday. I was CC and there way no one that asked/no signs. I think they were checking bags. I didn't have one so that was a non issue for me, but i think after the backlash that we gave them in 2013 they changed their minds. IIRC that effort was spearheaded by us right here on PAFOA.
