I gave my CHL to the Leo, he shrugged and said "OK", gave me back my CHL and off we went.....absolutely no
big deal.
I would NEVER go into that part of town unarmed. They do increase the police patrols on the fairgrounds themselves.....
but even then..... and especially leaving the grounds at night....you better keep your eyes wide open! Other than that,
have a good time.
We went two years ago, same experience (except for the cop being in the car). Don't go walking through those parking lots unarmed! It's absolutely no big deal.
