I recently took my CLEET class and am turning in my packet today to become a cc'er. During the class they had a list of places you could and could not carry in OK. Does anyone have this list available? I looked on the OSBI website but I didn't find a whole lot of information. A co-worker and I are in an argument wheather you could or could not carry a concealed weapon to the State Fair. Plus I would like to have the list for reference at later times. Thanks.

A quick google search found lots of info.

The end of bullet (B) has your answer for your friend. It basically says that while you can carry on the fairgrounds, that doesn't mean you can enter into any of the buildings. I can tell you that all of the buildings there have a "No Weapons" sign on them; which was odd given that the gun show was inside of one of these buildings. So if you wanted to go into one of the buildings you would "legally" need to take your gun back to your car and leave it there. Oh and the law specifically states that they can't ban you from having your gun in your car regardless of if your car is attended or not.

You forget that the state fair and fairgrounds are not government owned or run.

And so far I have not seen a single building posted.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different fairgrounds. I went to the one that is just east of H&H gunrange and every building I saw there had the "No Weapons" sign posted. But my wife is pretty sure that was the state fairgrounds and we have been to a state fair there before.

It is also possible things have changed in the last few years. I think the last time I was there was the 2007 State Fair.
