Can you bring your gun to vote?

On Friday, a Trump supporter showed up to a Loudoun County polling station in Virginia, sporting a handgun in his waistband as he offered sample Republican ballots to voters outside.

"And as a voter, I felt intimidated," Erika Cotti told CNN. "As my son and I walked away, I heard the man with the gun say... you're voting for Crooked Hillary."

But elections officials say the man broke no laws, as Virginia is an open carry state -- meaning that individuals are generally allowed to carry an unconcealed weapon in public.

I carried when I voted in Chelmsford. Didn't flash, don't know what would have happened if I had. Wouldn't have cared.

My polling station is a school so im guessing it would be a big no no for me

 

[BigDaddy-Oh]

My poll is in Town Hall, not a good choice for me.

Mine was the town hall as well, ccw like normal. Unless they have posted signage or metal detectors, I don't see why not.

Even with posted signs I am not sure it would matter in ma would it?

Technically no. Signs have no power of law in MA. But you can get arrested for trespassing if someone finds out and kick you out but you don't leave. Then again, it's MA, cops don't follow the laws.

Mine was a town hall as well thankfully not a school so i carried (early voting)

Last place I would need to- it's a senior center and most of the voters look like they are patrons. Add to that I will probably be on way to or from work.

My town votes at the school used for kindergarten. My CCW will not be on me.

According to New Hampshire law, you can legally carry, even if the polls are in a school. Take THAT Ma.

With terror threats allegedly being made on polling places today by groups like ISIS, the question you should be asking yourself isnt if its legal to carry, but instead how many extra mags you should bring.

That lady should find a safe place and hide. It's name is freedom and it's a wonderful thing.

Carry all day at town hall. Wish mine was town hall and not at a school.

No need to rub it in. We know Massachusetts sucks.

Hey, out of courtesy I didn't use the MH term.

Luckily I voted early, but otherwise it's at the highschool, so it's a no go

Signs are irrelevant in MA. CCW means nobody sees it anyway so if legal (not a school) carry on. No big deal.

Early voting benefit in MA, usually at Town Hall so other than Boston (don't know of others) with metal detectors, it was a non-issue.

After today folks you will not be able to carry any ware......Enjoy it now our days are limited.

 

[dhuze]

My voting place is an elementary school so no.

Can you bring your gun to vote?



You can bring it, I'm not sure they will allow it to vote though unless its not ma legal then it can vote twice.

 

[amm5061]

Bwahahahahaha.

When a white man does this, it's voter intimidation, but when the black panthers stand outside polling places threatening to murder people who vote republican, it's no big deal? You seriously cannot make this shit up!

Voting at showcase cinemas so 100% carry lol.

 

[kmanick]

"as told to CNN" LOL! that was all I needed to read of that
god help us if Clinton wins this today

 

[Chet0729]

Our voting place is a price chopper so yeah, I am carrying, I always do. The voting area was a circus. People walking around the store with ballots, cop with nose buried in phone never looked up for the 10-15 minutes I was in line and 70-80 year old workers. They had zero control of what was going on.

 

[Cartoons]

Voting in the basement of a church... so no.

[ioman2]

the regional high school on the nh seacoast that i voted was very well organized. it took me longer to find a parking place and navigate the parking lot than to vote. Everyone in line was talking about how they had never seen so many people in line to vote.
