I'm still confused about dirks, stilettos, poniards, and spears...

And what is a poniard anyway??

I've been to the Faire the last 3 years, and have been to the haunted house they put on every October. The sign has been there every year. It's a permanent fixture.

Well that answers the question. Would be proper notice under 30.06.

I guess I'll just have to bring my poniard, dirk, or stiletto....

What is the Weapons Policy?We do not allow concealed weapons on Festival grounds. Any swords,
rapiers, edged or pointed, etc. that are worn as a part of your costume
MUST BE SHEATHED AND PEACE TIED. You can secure them with
leather straps or zip ties. No unsecured weapons will be allowed into the
Festival site.

Whether it is 30-06 posted or not, does this not give notice that concealed weapons are not welcome? Correct me if I am wrong, but this means that while not verboten per the state, if I am caught with my concealed weapon I can be prosecuted for armed tresspass?

Q

Nope, it's not effective written notice under PC 30.06 because does not contain the language specified in the statute. Also, you have a DEFENSE to trespass under 30.05 if the reason for your exclusion from the property was your carrying under CHL.

Say hi to the "Free Credit Report -dot- com" guy for me. He'll be playing his guitar because his credit was ruined and playing at the Renaissance Faire was the only job he could get.

Remember not to carry...among other things from TPC 46.01

Darn, I'll miss my poiniard and my dirk. Can I fire up my 8kw genny in the camping area?
