Re: Open carry to the polls
In a Church any type of carry should be legal. IIRC Viper carried inside a school to vote and nothing was said.
IIRC, 24 years ago when I was a Constable, I could call the Police if needed. However that may have changed. When the SHTF, calling one person is a bad idea. A three year old can call 911.Aggies Coach Really ??? Take off the tin foil bro.

Re: Open carry to the polls
The answer is yes. It doesn*t matter the polling location.
Ran into an issue a few years back. Old lady said I couldn*t carry. I informed her she was wrong. Asked to see my license. I refused, stating I was open carrying and no license is required to do so, and wouldn*t present it in any case. She started talking again, and I looked over to the judge of elections, and asked if I needed to file a complaint for voter intimidation & harassment. He told her to drop it, and I suggested he ensures the poll workers get proper training in the future.
Lot of balls on the woman considering the polling place was the fire station I*d run at for about a decade. Don*t think she was happy when I left my son with the Democratic observer so I could run a call that came in while I was filling out my ballot.

Re: Open carry to the polls
In Pennsylvania, it is NOT illegal to concealed carry in a church. It may be restricted on a church by church basis, but there is no legal impediment to concealed carry in churches in PA. There is no restriction on Roman Catholic churches in the Philadelphia diocese, and my pastor is 100% fine with parishioners carrying in church.
Watch proximity to schools, however.

Re: Open carry to the polls
I was not saying that anyone else could not summon the police if needed and I apologize if it came across that way. What I was referring to was having the police hang out at the polling place to keep the peace. They need to be asked to be there by the Judge of Elections. The Constable or any election official can summon the police for assistance at the polling place.

Re: Open carry to the polls
The sight of armed people at the poles just might keep some older or more timed TRUMP voters away.

Re: Open carry to the polls
i walk in before or after work in full duty rig, do my civic and leave.
no questions, no answers.
used to carry with a paddle and do the same, also no issue.
local Presbyterian church if memory serves. i know it's the one with all the signs out front on voting day and easily driven past un-noticed any other day as i'm not the worshiping type, no offense to those who are.
after the last "any other purpose" ruling and the bias of PASCOTUS i wouldn't touch the grass on the road side of the sidewalk on a school. walk my ass down the middle of the road to be safe.There is no way to make it out alive...
