    Default Open Carry while Voting - November 3rd

    Open or Concealed... Thank you to those for deciding to do so.


    Here is my 2020 voting experience.

    I habitually OC'd while voting; Rarely any comments, but today the stars aligned. After filling out the paper ballot, I stand up to see deer in the headlights look from some 70-80 year old women who was in line to get her ballot.

    Oh my, you're carrying a gun. Why are you carrying a gun?
    Well, I'm voting
    Oh, it isn't that bad.
    You should be carrying one as well. Everyone should.

    I walked away from her and scanned my ballot then wished the poll workers a great day.

    You missed your opportunity!

    When she asked "Why?" your response should have been, "So nobody tries to keep you from voting. So, please, go vote!"

    They moved our voting location from the township building to the elementary school. OC like every other year, and like every other year, nothing said.
