At the entry gate to the festival, the large sign reads. " no knives, guns, or weapons of any kind. Except legally authorized".
Just looking for your thoughts on this. It's public property, I'm assuming is being leased out. If you are licensed to cc, you should be able to oc "legally".

To me the "unless legally autherized" said it all.

If it is legal to open carry in the state it should be legal on ALL state property.

They had a sign on our DMV that said "NO UNATHERIZED WEAPONS ALLOWED". I was open carring and walked right it as it is autherized in Idaho to open carry.

+1 to the Doc.

The sign could have said, "Nothing at all allowed, unless legally authorized" and you could bring in whatever you wanted outside of cocaine or other illegal things.

Probably the same situation as I had here.

For what it's worth, I usually CC in the Rose Festival to avoid hassle, but have switched to OC once inside in the past.

I have used this technique in the past before as well. Enter CC, do my business CC. And when I am ready to leave go to the restroom or some place semi private. Un-tuck and go OC and browse around. If asked to leave I am good.
