Wilson County Fair

Anyone been? Are we good for concealed carry? I believe it falls under park property but wasn't sure if there'd been any changes as far as definition of property to keep people from carrying legally.

We went Monday, posted and Police on hand. No wands or metal detectors. I wont say if I was armed or not. We did have a good time and did not worry about anything or anyone.

Thanks, we just got back. I didn't see any posting but didn't go out of my way to find one either. It was fun but as it got close to dark the more rowdy crowds starting showing up so we headed out. I didn't carry either, it was too heavy

We did the State Fair up here last weekend. The rowdy crowd started around 8pm. We left at 10pm, but my head was on a swivel. I was unarmed, and if it weren't for the kind lady with the very cheap rum in her super expensive Pina Coladas, I never would have made it.

 

There was nothing to deter me, had I been carrying, it was a classic case of 'concealed means concealed.'

Next year (2018) is anybody's guess, but this article from last year (2016) says HCP is good to go per Lebanon PD:

"There are no plans to change procedures for entrance to the fair, and Hardy said they have not specifically banned firearms at the fair."

"We follow Tennessee state law on firearms, meaning if you are licensed and permitted to carry a firearm and have that documentation with you, you are allowed to bring your firearm," he said."
