How was your fair experience?

Security wanded my friend and then myself - both of our pistols - and didn't say a word. We were the only two in our group carrying, but we both walked right on through without anyone detecting our firearms. Security theater at its finest...

Wow, this is harder than I thought. I've got the final report started and have made quite a bit of progress, but it'll be another day or so. Sorry.

Re: How was your fair experience?
My wife and I didn't make it to the State Fair this year for the first time in many years. My story from last year was interesting.
I came to the entry gate and was wanded which revealed my Gerber 3" folder and my pocket gun. I informed the gate security lady that I have a CHL and she said fine (never asked to see it and I didn't volunteer.) She informed me, however, that I'd have to take my knife back to my car and I said, "Look, I have a concealed handgun license. If I can carry a gun legally, I can carry a knife legally, too," to which she replied, "Yeah, that makes sense," and waved me through.
