I was out there and carried away. I think the main point of the bag check was to ensure there were not drinks being brought in. Strict no cooler rule and making people pour out water before entry. There was alcohol for sale and that would have been illegal to allow people to bring their own.

That is not correct at all. I'm in airports fairly regularly and carried on planes. Private planes in non-secured areas of an airport are not prohibited. (Munis or private airports) I know a number of people that fly out of large (Love Field) airports and carry on their own planes.

Q12. Which items are restricted?
Answer: Food, drinks, coolers of any kind, portable awnings/tents, alcoholic beverages, pets, bicycles, firearms, skate boards, scooters or in-line skates are not allowed on the grounds, including the parking areas. Please see the show tips page for more information.

I don't remember what type of signs were up last year. I don't believe there are any type of metal detectors though. TSA isn't a factor because the airport isn't a commercial passenger airport.

Interesting. So, if you go to the "entry restrictions" section of the site it lists out a number of items. This does not include firearms. If you go to the FAQ it says what you quoted. Hmmm

I'm thinking about taking my father and son to the Alliance Air Show this weekend. I was really looking at their site for schedule information, but happened upon the "prohibited items" list. I was actually surprised to see that they didn't mention weapons at all. I clearly can't take my tent, pet, awning, skateboard, or favorite adult beverage...it says nothing about weapons whether LTC or not.
