Probably not a good idea.
Probably an incredibly stupid idea.

Legal, just incredibly stupid.
Just curious as to why its stupid?
In many states you can legally carry in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
I dont drink or smoke weed, but if I had a choice I rather be surrounded by stoners with guns than drunks with guns.
For once I'll actually agree with what the other Dave always says: it'll just make us look bad.
Hell hath frozen over.
Marijuana is illegal on a Federal level. The DoJ, DEA and the ATF is on attack mode right now in regards to both medical marijuana and gun rights (which is really an attack on State Rights).
Attending Hempfest with a firearm does not serve a useful purpose for OC specifically, or gun rights in general. It also serves no purpose for medical marijuana rights or the marijuana legalization effort.
All it will do is give the media (and the SPD) an incident to cite later and use against lawful gun owners, and also patients who comply with MMJ laws.
Just think about it for 1 second, if the city police and government freak out over guns at Folklife, do you seriously think they'd be ok with guns at Hempfest http://www.kuow.org/program.php?id=17609
And afaik the city has been regularly giving hempfest problems over permit denials http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2010/06/23/city-refuses-to-issue-hempfest-permit Why make it easier for them to end the event (or provide a higher level of motivation for them to end it).
OC is your right of course, just not advisable at Hempfest imho.

Im glad that you have decided to elect yourself to the postition of open carry PR director but I am not a part of a centralized organization or any such group that dictates when and where is appropriate for open carry.
Contestant said:Internet acronyms for $1000 Alex."
Alex Trebek said:"IMHO" usually has what meaning when seen on an internet forum?
Contestant said:Umm, errr, hmmm, ahhh, I dunno Alex, what does that acronym mean?
Alex Trebek said:Geesh, what are you an utter friggn moron? "IMHO." Come one Genius, this is a gimme.
Contestant said:I'm properly ashamed by my lack of knowledge. Please Alex, tell me what it means!
Alex Trebek said:What is "in my humble opinion."
Contestant said:I'm still not sure, could you use that in a sentence please?
Alex Trebek said:Sure. "IMHO you're a moron."

As Red Fox would say on Sanford and Son "Elizabeth? I'm coming to join you honey."For once I'll actually agree with what the other Dave always says: it'll just make us look bad.

God I knew I was sounding like BigDave when I voiced my opinion on this subject. USMCbess, back to primary school for some reading comprehension. I never told anyone what to do, I merely voiced an 'opinion.' Missouri, right? Here's another opinion: stay there. Have a Merry Christmas too
And if you feel up to it, try to articulate how open carrying at hempfest helps anyone. You might not like my opinions, but at least I man up and explain my reasoning.
Sorry for misinterpreting your intentions. I had you pegged as one of those high and mightys that I have come accross in the OC forums that have decided they are the standard for OC. Once again I apologise for assuming.
Due to city pressure, permit and insurance, we simply can’t afford to allow it. I have had this happen and I had to deny entry to the OC. He seemed like a really nice guy. I hated being in the situation. He said “I think the event would be much safer if everyone was armed.” This may be the case but understand, this is not our primary issue and we have never had a major injury at Hempfest in 20 years even with attendance in the hundreds of thousands.
