Voters may see guns at polling places

From our neighbor to the south.

INDIANAPOLIS — Don’t be surprised if you see somebody with a handgun at your local polling place this November.

A 2011 state law that barred local governments from enforcing their own gun restrictions also covers many public buildings where people go to vote.

Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson says the law is clear: Unless the polling place falls under the few exemptions in the law, legal gun owners have the right to openly bear their arms while they vote. “That matter has been settled,” Lawson said.

I'll be carrying when I vote. Always do. And it's not my fault the polling place changed from a city library to an elementary school.

Our polling place changed from an elementary school to a senior center (same building, but it's been re-purposed).  That being said, my wife and I already voted absentee.

I posted it to our Facebook then deleted the post after reading the strong anti-OC bend.

Were you OCing when you filled out your absentee ballot?

No, but a gun was laying on the table near by...

True, but they are acknowledging the right to do so and telling the public not to get their panties in a twist if they see some OCers voting.
