The agency responsible for managing the New York State Fair has made a U-turn to allow off-duty law enforcement members to continue to carry firearms at the upcoming state fair, according to a department spokesperson.
“The fair’s long-standing rules of conduct state that firearms are prohibited on the Fairgrounds, with exceptions for members of law enforcement and participation in the gun show,” said an Aug. 10 email from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM).
