CC at KY Fair and Expo Center?

[BlueEagle]

Anybody know their policies and procedures? We're hitting the farm machinery show tomorrow, and I'm wondering if we'll encounter metal detectors or wanding or anything.

Many thanks.

I've been to the RV industry show several times with work, always carried, never had an issue.

Carry on, no metal detectors etc you are fine just leave the farmers daughter alone cuz he will be packing also

 

[BlueEagle]

That shouldn't be an issue...I think my wife will be able to keep me under control.

I've been to the Farm Machinery Show before. No signs, no security...

Carry of any weapon under Kentucky law in any building owned or operated by the Kentucky State Fair Board is a no go.

Section 3. No person is licensed to enter or remain in any building or stadium owned or operated by the Kentucky State Fair Board while in possession of a firearm or other deadly weapon (as defined in KRS 500.080(4)), regardless of whether such person would be licensed to enter such building if he did not possess such firearm, provided that this section shall not apply to a peace officer who is permitted by law to carry such weapon concealed or who is carrying such a weapon in the line of duty.

Interesting. I know what KY just changed some of their carry laws and I figured that the new laws would have affected this too.

 

[BlueEagle]

I notice that law makes no distinction about firearms being loaded or unloaded. So if that's true they could never have another gun show there. I'm doubtful about that. It'd make every single firearms dealer illegal as soonsoon as they stepped through the door.

The cite used in the law KRS 500.080 is the definition. Which basically states that Any weapon from which a shot, readily capable of producing death or other serious physical injury, may be discharged. So that would mean any firearm. It is possible they make exceptions during Gun Shows. To be sure I would call.

Interesting. I was wondering if I was allowed to open carry this weekend but I think I just found my answer!

 

[Wildcat45]

I believe that law is only in effect during the KY State Fair. At all other times legal carry is permitted. I could be wrong about the law, but they have gun shows at the fair grounds all the time, so you would have to take a gun to a gun show, right?

Bump!

We're thinking about going this week. Does anyone know the current scoop? Thanks in advance.
