    Question WW2 Reading Airshow?

    Anyone been?

    Found this on their website: WEAPONS
    • FIREARMS AND WEAPONS OF ANY KIND ARE SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED FROM BEING BROUGHT ONTO THE EVENT GROUNDS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND WILL BE CONFISCATED BY SECURITY PERSONNEL AT THE ADMISSIONS GATE. (NOTE: THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO PRE-REGISTERED RE-ENACTOR GROUPS. SEE THE FOLLOWING SECTION)

    Do they do patdowns or have metal detectors?

    Been there. The best WWII event and airshow around. Don't remember if they searched or not, but I personally wouldn't risk losing my Handgun

    exactly. I just hate to take it and get stopped by some patdown and have to leave or put it back in my car.

    I was planning on going. After reading this thread i changed my mine.
    How ironic. Airshow/history lesson and you cant exercise your 2nd amendment right.

    You should be good to go if you conceal it real well. They only check bags and that's about it. I carry a 380 in pocket of pants or cargo pocket. Dress in a ww2 uniform and open carry a 1911.

    I haven't decided yet. There is a show in Morgantown too. I imagine the same rules will apply

    GO! It's so worth it. And, that's why they call it "concealed." No "security" is taking any firearm of mine anyway...I'd just leave if something happened.

    Ask gunlawyer about escheat. They may lack the authority to confiscate, he can put a finer point on this detail.

    It is a good airshow, worth seeing IMO. I went a couple years ago, and security was pretty lax, there certainly weren't any pat downs or metal detectors.
