untrained polling officials!!!!!

[allen16323]

Was just told by a poll work cover up or leave and that "that" referring to my sidearm "is not allowed here"!!!!! Well I was on the phone with the election board and the guy will be corrected. He should be removed today as to not intimidate other voters that are LEGALLY carrying firearms.

My wife is a machine inspector at a local polling place. She recently attended a class for poll workers (run by the board of elections and led by an attorney). The issue of guns at the poll came up and it was specifically stated that firearms were permitted at polling places and that no election official should challenge the legality of any voter carrying.

However, they did not say anything about if the polling place was at a school - but that's been discussed here, already.

I might add that, at the last gen'l election, an OC'er showed up and my wife, just in passing, said something to the effect of, "I see you're an open carrier." The guy got all bent out of shape that she'd noticed. She told me that the gun was right at her eye level and about 2' in front of her face. She'd made no negative comment to him, just that she'd noticed.

You should have carried a big black baton, attired in SWAT B.U.D. According to our esteemed US Attorney General, that would have been fine.

I'd say that reaction serves to illustrate his real purpose for open carrying.

Never mind. Your on it. I read the first line of the OP and got furious.

Its OK and its grove city now have to change it. And I know for a fact the polls are not in a prohibited place. And he spouted the liberal I am on your side "I carry too" to which I responded then you should know the laws and not preach oppions based in ignorance.

I voted when it happened if they would have stopped me I would have been all over them for voter suppression. And proudly stuck my "I voted" sticker on my 1911's leather jacket.
