    Default Are Guns Allowed in the Pittsburgh Convention Center.

    I am going to the Home & Garden Show at the Pittsburgh Convention Center this weekend. Is it okay to CC there?

    I'm sure they're not allowed - but I haven't seen any metal detectors there, or anything else to stop me from carrying.

    It has been a couple of years since I have been in there though - and other places that didn't use to have them now DO have them - so I wouldn't be surprised if they do now too.

    I think it depends on the event and the organisers’ wishes/policies.

    We went down for a very small show, and they did have metal detectors and bag searches at the door. Then, for a larger youth-oriented event, there was nothing.

    Haven't been there since last year's Pet Expo.
    Nothing in place at that time.

    Interested in hearing from anyone who has been there recently.
    I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

    Yep, have been to several shows were no metal detectors, searches, etc.. Also went to a Gaming convention a couple of years ago that did have metal detectors, we turned around and left - tossing the tickets in the garbage on the way out. (Not a loss, they were free promotional tickets...)
