1. That

is utterly APPALLING to even think about. Concealed carry shouldn't be allowed either.

[berniesandersmittens]

3. I think it should be part of our voting rights platforms

Guns are not allowed Period in courthouses, prisons, and federal buildings.

I think they should be banned from election sites as well.

2. I need "hell no"

But I'll still vote.

4. Hell NO and R U Crazy!

[berniesandersmittens]

7. I urge everyone to call their local election commission to see if it's legal

Voters and election officials should be protected.

The laws vary from state to state and counties.

15. Love it

[berniesandersmittens]

5. I can't think of any reason this should be allowed

It is voter intimidation as well as poll worker intimidation.

And yet, it's legal here.

6. Only Bow and arrows on Election Day.

8. Even in Texas, you can not take a fire arm into polling place

[berniesandersmittens]

10. I was notified

By our county judge that during public election board meetings, this it is legal to attend while open carrying. He did not address election day.

16. The head election judge can have a gun but no one else at a the election site

9. Sure - as long as you make open carry legal in courts.

If the defendant has not yet been convicted of a crime that would limit his gun ownership, he should also be allowed to carry his gun. If a person is locked up until trial, they should be able to keep their gun on them in jail. Let's see how the lawyers and judges like dealing with unstable people packing in THEIR workspace! Shall not be infriged. Shove it down their throats.
Attempted to edit twice - why will it not allow the word SARCASM in the reply title??

[TreasonousBastard]

13. Courts are important, but first should be the DMV and school board meetings...

And not much is allowed in the title but straight text.

[Runningdawg]

21. Agreed

But I bet you would be surprised the number of school board members who are packing. How do I know? My dad was one.

[sarisataka]

11. Is this being proposed somewhere?

[bluewater]

12. LOL "only on Election Days"

Well played berniesandersmittens, well played.

That's the funniest poll option ever.

[berniesandersmittens]

18. I was trying to make it as nonbiased as possible lol

[hunter]

14. I mock open carry fools.

Fortunately I live in a place where open carry is against the law and rare.

It's also a place where open carry fools are likely to get killed.

One of our neighbors died that way bringing his gun into one of the neighborhood fast food places.

The cops shot him on his way out.

Consensus is that it was "suicide by cop."

I wouldn't want to be that cop.

17. Only Commander Taco and Cowboy Neal can open carry.

The bullets must be rubber and loaded with cryptocurrency.

The rest can eat crow or recompile a Linux kernel by hand.

Sorry I couldn't resist by trying to inject some Slashdot humour into this poll.

[berniesandersmittens]

19. Lol

Or in presidental races, but only in odd numbered years.

[Retrograde]

20. I want an option of "Hell NO"
