Back story:

I was with my wife today at the monthly flea market at the Iowa State fairgrounds in Des Moines.  Saw a guy there, open-carrying a S&W Sigma

in a belt hip holster...non-retention type.

I'll Start the count:

1  Carrying a gun at the ISFG.  EVERYBODY has had a discussion about THIS!

2  OPEN carry.  Not even trying to conceal.

3   S&W SIGMA.  'Nuff said

4  Non retention type holster.  Uncle Mikes?

5  To top it off, he had his hands in his pants pocket.  Not even blading at 45

What else can we come up with?

I only see one thing really wrong(legally)with what he was doing. The rest of the stuff, whatever floats his boat.

What is the punishment if caught carrying at the fairgrounds?

I guess I worded the OP wrong.

Yup, only one thing legally wrong, but how many of you would do this, this way...tactically?

Maybe it's just me. I've been wrong a couple of times.

Not sure of the punishment though.  A slap on the hands maybe.

Stern words spoken to you?  Jail?  Fine? ...Dunno.

Are you sure he wasn't a Sheriff? not a Deputy, but a Sheriff. Some of them carry that way, and they wear street clothes.

Well, that could have been. Never thought of that.

Not from Polk or Story though...
