None of their business otherwise. Telling a non-LEO that I'm carrying a weapon equates to un-concealing, as far as I'm concerned, and my license states I'm only allowed to carry concealed.

That would have normally been my response, except I was planning on telling them anyway, since I thought I would be wanded.

After reading about some of the negative experiences of some other CHL holders, I thought I would share my rather uneventful experience at the Fair. My wife and I, along with my sister and her husband, arrived at the fairgrounds at about 3:00 on Sunday. We entered throught the Pan-Am gate on the North/Northeast side. (At MLK Jr. Blvd & Washington St.) It wasn't very crowded at all, and as we walked up, one of the fair employees asked me if I had any weapons. I told her I did, and she asked for my CHL. I handed it to her, she glanced at it and handed it back. She told me to keep it out and show it to the officer inside the gate. We purchased our tickets and walked in. Nobody was being wanded, so we proceded in and I put my CHL back in my pocket. That's it. No one tried to take down my information or hassle me. No problems.

We went on to enjoy the fair, including the dog dancing, pig races, & fried butter. We even had to wait in line for an extra long time because Oprah showed up and they stopped serving us so they could prepare food for her. So if you hear any booing when they air that segment, it was us!
