    Post Carring at polling place if it is a school?

    Would you support a person that is legally carring a firearm to a school to vote in an election by that i mean any moral ethical or any support. Being it is for a LAWFUL purpose, and to stand up and say our right should not be pushed aside.

    What do you mean by "support"?

    Are you looking for people to agree that it's legal/moral/ethical to do?

    Are you seeking donations for a legal defense fund?

    edited my post. If it would come to that I would hope for Legal assistance but not what i am looking for. Letter writing, phone calls, just general support. This coming election is where I plan to make a stand for what I feel strongly for, I have just moved to the Canonsburg area and this district has its polling place in a public school, I refuse to give up one right to be able to practice another. I will be voting and will also be exercising my right to carry a firearm. I will go to my polling place and plan to exercise rights legally as stated in the law for "Other Lawful Purposes".

    Tag. I support the carry of firearms on all school property.

    If it is as a high school, middle school, or any other kind of secondary school, then I do NOT advise carrying since it is against the law. Any other polling place not located at a school, I think it is okay to carry as long as it isn't a court house or federal building. It sucks, but that's just the way it is, at least for now.

    If you want to be the test case I'd give you a couple bucks.

    I believe he wants to challenge the "Other lawful purpose" portion of that law.

    I am so glad my polling place is a fire station.

    With that said I think it's legal under the lawful purpose clause but I will never suggest for someone to test that theory. Don't do it.

    I voted yes I would support it as this would be a test case. I would donate money to your defense fund if/when you get arrested.

    I would rather die in a shootout than get assassinated in a "gun free zone"

    I believe it is legal to carry in a school, some police and DA's do not. I do not advise others to do so because you could be in for a very expensive legal fight. I also think your poll needs another option. "It is illegal but I think it should be legal and would support it". As it stands now I think the option many would vote for is absent.

    I would support you in some way if you became a "test case". It would not be with money because I ain't got it.
