Weapons, bags and selfie sticks prohibited at Trump rally in Erie

Mar 15, 2024

As rallygoers head to the Erie Insurance Arena on Saturday to watch former President Donald Trump, they should be aware that a number of items will not be allowed inside.

These include firearms or weapons of any kind, including pocket knives; selfie sticks; coolers; or bags larger than a clutch, to include camera bags, backpacks, briefcases or computer bags.

Erie Events Executive Director Gus Pine said the U.S. Secret Service will be the main security force at the rally. Arena security will augment them inside, outside and on the arena parking ramp.

"The most important thing is no bags," Pine said. "People will be asked to either throw them away or take them back to their vehicles. So to save time: no bags."

Pine said attendees will be safe bringing a wallet or clutch, keys and a cellphone.

Below is a list of prohibited items provided on the Secret Service website. The Secret Service has released this list to the public for previous Trump rallies across the country.
