Organizers of the Maryland State Fair say security and safety are of the utmost concern, in the wake of recent mass shootings at so-called soft targets across the country.
“We try to make it a safe environment. That’s our goal — making people safe so they can enjoy themselves at the fair,” said Andy Cashman, the state fair’s general manager.
The 138th My Maryland State Fair opens Thursday evening at the state fairgrounds in Timonium, about 21 miles north of Baltimore. Organizers expect more than 500,000 visitors over the fair’s 11-day run.
Metal detectors and security personnel will be stationed at all entrances. In addition to all types of weapons, prohibited items include drones, fireworks, duffle bags, selfie sticks, hoverboards and alcoholic beverages.

SMART. Tell the thugs what your up too in security. Besides. Isn't security supposed to be top notch for any event this Large??
ANTIFA says they are going to shoot up State Fairs and also Kill Red Hat wearing Trumpers.
And yet what security has Jake provided the citizens at the folked festival? As he encourages people to drag in their chairs, coolers, etc because he is too stupid to provide them with one? There is a stage across from PRMC that had no chairs. How stupid is that? Open access, open access to bring in what even you want to the festival. Not a cop was in sight. This isn't woodstock. Amateur
They should simply offer a bribe to CIA to not pull any false flags at their event. That should do the trick
Northwest Woodsman: Ethnic control would work much more effectively than any form of gun control. My guns, hammers, knives, etc., have a lot of self control and will not harm anyone that I have noticed. Maybe self control is the key to this issue and if we could identify a portion of society that has problems with that, a serious modification of their behavior would be warranted.
Pattern recognition is verboten, NW.
Orcs be orcs.
