I went last year a couple of times allways carried. I showed the ID to the person wanding, then to a officer and went in. The last time (which will be the last time I ever go to the fair unless there is some kind of change in how things are handled) I showed the ID, she said ok, wanded me inline, hit on the gun (still in line) and asked out loud is that the gun, called a officer and I showed him the ID. All of that was inline with a crowd of people, then she pulled me out ask me for my chl license and was going to write down the info. I ask her for her driver license so I could get her info, she asked why I told her if anything happens at my house I know who had my info. She said no to me getting her info, I told her no to writing my info and she called the officer over and he told me I was not allowed to go in unless she writes my info down. Now all of this is out in the open and has taken about 20 minutes, I ended up going in after I got a supervising officer over and he didn't want to mess with it.
The only thing better would be having a friend outside the gates take pictures of all this with an obvious camera, big telephoto lens, etc.
Especially if your friend has press credentials!
