Firearms in polling places? - Page 3

Voting here is mail-in only, so I'm always good. Before that it was usually done in the elementary school, so it was a no-go.

I did last November. Ours is in the Fire Station.

My polling location was receently changed, from one elementary school to another, so no carry for me.
From now on I will be voting absentee.

Should it be legal regardless of where the voting occurs? Yes. In my area voting is done in the local school building so it's a no-no here.

I used to as my prior districts polling place was a community center.
No longer though now as I'm now voting at a school.
No arms of any sort what so ever on my person nor in my vehicle, including pocket knives or OC/CS.

IMHO a state issue carry license should allow waiver of all these conditions.

Polling places are a no carry zone in Kansas.

My polling place was an elementary school, and I DID!

OK....CC is allowed in school parking lots as long as you don't leave your car. I was discharged from the hospital on Monday and was driven to the polls on Tuesday, wearing my mask. An Officer of the Election saw me and flagged us down, and offered that if I would pull into a handicapped spot, they would bring me a ballot and I could vote from the car. So I got curbside service and didn't have to disarm to go inside.

Our polling place has a sign that says "curb side voting" in front of a handicapped space.

Perfectly legal in Kentucky (unless in a school). My polling place is in a church, so..... yep.
