[...] I turned to the sound of. sir..siiirrr, and was approached by two LEOs. With one in front of me, and the other behind, the elder of the two started to talk. "You haven't done anything wrong, but, why the gun"?[...]

Hindsight is 20/20 but would it have been so bad to reply with "Great, then I'll be on my way officer. Good day"?

However, I must admit that you seem to have handled it the best way you thought appropriate. You made a choice, and came home with your better half all unscathed, so good on you for that!

The better half an I were ready,as noted by the LEO. We recorded all signs, and were able to assure him the festival grounds were not posted, the grounds employee, who I am sure made the call, even ran and looked. This was, "the first time in twenty years I have ever seen any thing like this, so why the gun". I was the first to carry in those festival grounds, and the first, man with a gun call he ever had in such a venue. Your response is well noted. What was done, is done. I thank you sir A FRIEND IN FREEDOM.
