OC In A Church While Voting
« on: May 09, 2012, 08:44:20 AM »
As far as I know, CPL holders may OC in a church without prior permission, but the church may still ask the OCer to leave due to private property protection.

Does anything change while the church is acting as a polling facility?

Again, as far as I know, any government building (non federal) is preempted, but a church is not a government building; Or is it while it's acting as a polling facility?

Anything?

The only stuff that I have been able to find are a few mentions of the belief that the church is being leased and operated by the township and thus, qualifies under preemption. It's not the case law or written statute that I was looking for, but I guess it's something.

So it's still a grey area?   I know this is bringing up an old topic but tomorrow is voting.
