    Default Going to Knoebels Amusement Park

    Going to Knoebels Amusement Park at the end of the month for a weekend camping trip.
    Just wondering if anyone knows where Knoebels stands on OC and CC. I can't seem to find any listing of park rules on there site.

    I carry there often, but I am a CC kinda guy, so not sure on the OC angle. I get soaked when I go. I love the water rides

    Be safe (and have fun!).

    General rule of thumb is OC is not allowed at any amusement park.
    Though you can look into it.
    Might as well just suck it up and CC, you get to carry your firearm and keep yourself and those with you safe. If nobody knows its there then nobody can tell you that you can't have it.

    I havent been there in about 10 years and I don't remember them wanding the entrance, but things have changed drastically since then so scope it out before you walk into something and set yourself up. You might end up locking it in the car.

    they don't have a policy on firearms, at least that are posted. i'm sure, though, that you'd be asked to conceal or leave. the last time i went, i just concealed, to avoid any hassles.

    They dont have any "entrances" the way most amusement parks do. Its free to get in...so there are no gates to pass thru. Its kinda like going into a fair.

    referring to red. Is this written somewhere? It may be the standard for a lot of them but the way you have it written seems a bit assumptive, don't you think?

    I OC'ed at Knoebles last year but I don't really know if anyone noticed so I can't say if it's ok or not. I didn't have any issues or notice any stares from anyone. <---that doesn't mean it won't happen to you!! Personally when it comes to a place like that you have to decide for yourself if you're willing to deal with being asked to leave, put it in your car, etc.

    I think general rule of thumb and "standard for alot of them" is the same thing.
    therefore no I dont think it's a bit assumptive.

    I also said one could check into it.

    My correction is because you said "not allowed in ANY of them".
