i live in monroe county, on september 3rd is the watermelon festival. there will be booths set up and people will be coming in from all over. i haven't called and verified this but a friend that i do trust not to lie told me this today. he said he was talking to one of the officers up in tompkinsville and they said that he could not open carry during the festival which is on main street and goes about 4 blocks. he said there will be people set up from places that don't understand open carry and it will scare them to see people except police carrying guns, and tompkinsville needs these people to keep coming back as its revenue. he told him if he open carried he would be asked to put the gun away either conceal with permit or put back in car. the tomkinsville city park had signs up till this year banning firearms, now the signs are down. i will try and call if i get a chance tomorrow at work cause by the time i'm off only the dispacher is on duty. if anyone else knows about if they can stop open carry let me know i was planning on doing that. thanks
