Firearms in polling places?
Got to thinking about the crazy patchwork quilt of “yes, but not here” gun legislation in various States and voting.
Will you carry when you vote, or did you carry when you voted?

Poll messed up -- again!
OK, I messed up the poll again.
So, Feel free to use the following as a starter Yes, I will/did carry No, although legal here, I will not/did not carry. No, polling places are no-carry No, polling places are not specified as no-carry, but location (school, etc) are no-carry No, other (please explain)

The Navy teaches a standard response:
"I can neither confirm nor deny the presence or absence of any nuclear device on or about any aircraft, ship or installation of the US Navy, sir or ma'am." My answer to your question is somewhat similar.

I went to my local county courthouse to vote last year. My state does not allow carry into state, county, or local government buildings. My state also expressly forbids carry into polling places.
