It appeared they don't want them in your pocket, just in case you get on a ride where the firearm could have a tendency to fall out. That to me though, is a "no brainer".

1. It's none of their business where I carry my gun.

2. Is it even legal for me to reveal where my concealed gun is except to a LEO?

3. Some people don't ride the rides at the State Fair so pocket carry would be just fine.

Do what you wish but.......
Security was friendly, polite and accomodating so why would I be any less?
Anytime an LEO or Security questions me about my carry piece I will be as helpful as possible.

I went to the Fair yesterday (Texas / OU day) with my wife, daughter, son-in-law and Grandchildren. I took my weapon (S&W Airweight model 638) in an IWB holster and there were NO problems. I showed my CHL and TDL and the gaurd ask if my "piece" was in my pocket. I said no and pointed to my IWB at 3 o'clock and he said "OK , go ahead". It appeared they don't want them in your pocket, just in case you get on a ride where the firearm could have a tendency to fall out. That to me though, is a "no brainer". I did see some middle aged men, who did not apear to be gay , wearing fanny packs. It was painless!!

Well, I am going to the Fair with my Grandchildren this coming Saturday, 10/06 and I am going to try it. In years past I have left my handgun (Smith& Wesson Airweight model 638) in the car because of the hassle they would put you through. Even if it is a hassle, I think they need to realize it is LEGAL for us to carry, so I will carry this year.
