This has become the most ridiculous thing in New Hampshire.
Open carry is legal here, and in some communities parents have demanded schools be closed on Election Day (so we don’t shoot the children).
Some districts have actually complied. But it’s not enough.
Some idiot has introduced a bill in the Legislature to ban guns at polling places (so we don’t shoot the children, or anyone else, I guess).
I remember the “Black Panthers” standing in front of the voting place with batons and their “NWA” intimidating the voters....but that is okay
If they wont let you carry conceal, jus carry batons like the New Black Panthers did. Like to see the response to that from Obama’s DOJ. Better yet dress like a Black Panther and see what happens....: )
OH BULLS**T. IN COLORADO 2 counties, Denver and Arapahoe (next to Denver) have discussed active shooter training concerns with poll workers (according to a guardian USA posting at FR yesterday). Denver and Aurora (aka Saudi Aurora in Arapahoe county) have higher crime rates. I have not heard this anywhere else. In my county near Denver it never came up in training. You cannot open carry in my polling place but I will be conceal carrying my GLOCK and other edc stuff plus have my edc bag. I am sure some voters will ccw too. I have my plan just in case.
When I lived in NH (2004-2005), my polling place was the local elementary school.
The Gun-Free School Zones Act prohibits open carry within 1,000' of school grounds. It allows concealed carry on school grounds only when there is a contract between the carrier and the school.
Also, with respect to concealed carry, if you are carrying in a state with reciprocity to yours, your concealed carry permit does not allow for carry within 1,000' of a school in that state.
The federal law states that you must have a permit issued by the state in which the school is located.
Jim, who’s sponsoring these legislative efforts? Inquiring minds want to know!
(By this I mean party affiliation)
