I have not seen or know of any laws that prohibit concealed carry at fairgrounds.
I would carry there.
I would carry there.
Thank for update. I didn't know. Glad I asked. No carry today.Have to say, I'm a bit surprised. The last couple years I've been to the Delaware State Fair and The Mississippi Valley Fair in Iowa (statewide permitless carry), and both prohibited weapons of any kind and had wands/metal detectors/bag searches. However, this is the policy at Frederick:
The following items are prohibited:
- Weapons, or objects that appear to be weapons (with the exception of those permitted by the state of MD via licensed)
I read that policy to say that firearms are allowed if you have a license. However I'm also not sure that they just didn't screw up and meant it to say "licensed security" or something. Good luck!Thank for update. I didn't know. Glad I asked. No carry today.
That’s how I read it too. You are good to carryI read that policy to say that firearms are allowed if you have a license. However I'm also not sure that they just didn't screw up and meant it to say "licensed security" or something. Good luck!
That's sad man.The county fair has two practical reasons for existing...for the kids to get a day off school and go have fun...and for the oldsters to see who they know is still living and breathing since the fair last year.
Outside of those I see no reason for going.
That's not wrong at all. I lived in Frederick for nine years never had any opinion of the fair other than it was best to avoid the area around the fairgrounds around this time every year due to the traffic.The county fair has two practical reasons for existing...for the kids to get a day off school and go have fun...and for the oldsters to see who they know is still living and breathing since the fair last year.
Outside of those I see no reason for going.
Elizabeth Cook is singing there tomorrow, I know she's packing!Frederick fair grounds are privately owned. More than one of the employees are packing, whether you know it or not.

So carry, until they ask you to leave.The WVA Mountain Heratige Festible usually has a sign posted no guns we go every year for the past 20+ years.
