Here is my State Fair story. Last Thursday (Senior Day) my wife and I road the Dart train from the Westmoreland station to downtown and transferred to the green line to the State Fair. My wife also carries. As we entered the entrance line you must place your keys etc in a plastic bucket. Before I actually went through the scanner I was told that I would need to take the knife back to my car. I went outside the fair grounds and put knife under a low dense bush. When we left the fair grounds it was still there and I retrieved it.
Back to the fair. When I went through the scanner the bells went off and I told the attendant that I was concealed carrying. She said to go see the officer in the tower. My wife had already done this. All the officer wanted was my drivers license and my LTC. A quick check and we were on our way.
The point of my telling this story is that it seems ironic that a small pocket knife is illegal but a loaded, concealed .45 is not. We had a great time at the fair.
