When you go, make sure to have your CHL and DL in your hand. When you make contact with the security guard - don't tell him you are armed, just ask to speak to the supervisor, and show your CHL. They shouldn't wand you, but send you to the police officer posted at the entrance. Show your licenses to the police officer and you are in - usually with some sort of silly warning like, "make sure you keep your weapon concealed...".magillapd wrote:Wife & I went to the fair yesterday with her parents. We rode the train there so we were going in with a crowd. There was a very loud person working one of the wands, perhaps a supervisor?
I looked for one of the guards who appeared bored and went thru his line. I had my wallet, cellphone & keys out like they requested.
Guard simply pointed the wand toward either side of me & waved me thru. I don't even think he had it turned on.
Needless to say, wand never went off so there was no reason for me to say anything to anyone. Proves that safety is just an illusion to appease those scared of everything. There was an officer in the stand, and I saw someone ahead of me show chl to him with a simple wave to go on in.
A helpful tip to those who want to save money, there is a musuem that sits off to the side of the train entrance. It's off of the fair property and has water & sodas for only $1. The water in the fair is about $3.
I would not advise anyone to try to get through the entrance by looking for the bored security guard. If he were to wand you, you could likely get a MWAG call.
