Despite Indiana’s new permit less carry law, the state fair will continue its “no weapons” policy, say the chief marketing and sales officer for the Indiana State Fair Grounds.
Anna Whelchel told WISH-TV Thursday, “We do have magnetometers at all of our entry gates, and we have our public safety officers. They are incredible. They’re here 24 hours a day – state police, EMS, IMPD – everybody’s here.”
Security will include over 100 public safety officers who will be on the ground 24/7.
Safety inspectors prepared the Fairgrounds Thursday. “We make sure that we make upgrades, regardless of if there’s unfortunate incidents or not,” Whelchel said.

How long before we have a mass shooting at the fair? Admittedly, unlike most malls and schools they are providing real tangible security in the form of armed officers. Cameras are NOT real security.
