So the wife hasn't been in years and the kids and I have never been. She wants to take a trip on Sunday to the cesspool...errrr Jackson to the fair.
Is concealed carry allowed? I have my IC permit. |

Carry anyway. You very well might need it. And do not stop in Jackson for gas and food.
Better to be tried by 12 . . . ETA: ------------------------ Concealed carry with “enhanced” permit: Those who undergo eight hours of certified training can receive an endorsement on their concealed carry permit that allows them to carry in most places otherwise restricted. But an enhanced permit holder still cannot carry in: An area declared a place of nuisance. A police, sheriff or Highway Patrol station. A detention facility, prison or jail. Any place where carrying a firearm is prohibited by federal law (such as a federal courthouse or post office). A private business or property that properly posts (see below) notice that firearms are banned. An enhanced permit holder could face trespassing charges, but not a violation of concealed carry law. A courtroom while court is in session. While one section of state law says an enhanced permit holder can carry on school, community college or university property, another says it’s illegal. An AG’s opinion from 2012 says campus carry is allowed for enhanced permit holders. State law says someone not attending or working for a school can possess a firearm in their vehicle, but federal law would require a state-issued permit for it. Mississippi's IHL recently adopted a policy expressly permitting enhanced permit holders to carry on campus, subject to some exceptions still being worked out. ----------------------- |
. Just kidding.

I was wondering if it was allowed there as in are there any signs saying not to. I didn't see any so I carried anyway. While it may not appear to be a private business it could be. Much like Beale Street in Memphis. I carried with no issues. So I guess it's a yes in my book.

Hmmmmm.
------------------------------------------------- JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Seven arrests so far at the Mississippi State Fair and law enforcers are hoping to keep that number from growing. There have been no major issues so far, and authorities say that’s in part thanks to an abundance of police and deputies throughout the event. The idea is for law enforcers to stay ahead of any problems before they can even become major issues. So far, things appear to be off to a decent start. Victoria Louisville is one of the thousands of people headed to the fair this year. “This is our second time coming it is fun. It’s nice to get the kids out and have a family day,” Louisville said. I definitely feel safe especially in the daytime. Just their presence here will help ward off the bad stuff,” said Louisville. Like many others, she says seeing so many visible men and women in uniform, brings here comfort. Hinds County Sheriff Victor Mason says the idea was to saturate the state fairgrounds with as many officers as possible, both inside the gates, and out. “We looked at this plan before we started and we got together. We beefed up, and doubled up the manpower. I must say, this past weekend; no problems,” Sheriff Mason said. “We have had guys on the ground, and there are other agencies here also. And we are in cooperation with them. We have plainclothes officers out here that are able to spot problems before they start, and radio us you know to where the problem is maybe.” Wednesday, October 5, 2016, a man was arrested after he was caught stealing a cell phone. Over the weekend, three people were arrested for carrying concealed weapons. “This is an enclosed environment, and we are the only ones that are supposed to have weapons, but we are trained professionals,” Sheriff Mason said. “We just want everybody to come and have a good time and know that you are safe, but those that don’t want to go by the rules, we know where we are going with you.” The sheriff’s office will also monitor everything happening on and around the midway throughout the fair. This is a breakdown of the arrests thus far: Wednesday, 1 arrest. Stealing a cell phone. Thursday, no arrests. Friday, 3 people arrested. Carrying a concealed weapon Misdemeanor drug charges Saturday, 3 people arrested. 2 arrests for carrying concealed weapons 1 petit larceny ---------------------------------------------- Source |

| Without looking at the arrest reports I'm going to speculate that those arrested may be felons in possession. Almost every state agency with a law enforcement division is at the fair looking for people with warrants or that they have interest in. Everyone from JPD and the sheriff to game wardens and the tax commission. |
