Greetings.
I'm a lurker who now has something to contribute.
I went to the fair in Yakima today and thought I'd share my experience. I was unarmed, went through the turn-style and asked the 4 attendants if it was ok to open carry. They had no idea what I meant so I explained it to them. They said no.They also referred to the sign saying no weapons.
I then asked who owned the fair. They said it was the county and city of Yakima.
Is this correct of them or not?
-------------------
Later, I went to the Yakima Sherrifs department booth. I asked one of the cops if it was true that open carry was legal. He said yes but that I should carry concealed so as not to have people call in all the time; and so you don't get stopped every 20 feet.
He clearly tried to discourage me from OC since it will be just too much of a hassel for me, and that it will freak out too many people.
