I recall that in some of the colonies, people were required to bring guns to the polls to show that they could perform militia service. Anyone have a reference?

I was surprised in Georgia of the no gun policy at the voting booth when georgia has repealed forbidding guns at bars, schools and places of gathering recently, I believe.

Of course it gave indication of the political affiliation of poll workers there....

When was the last time anyone was shot, at a polling station, in NH?

The purveyors of this legislation need to be asked what problem it seeks to address.

This bill is designed to counter the rash of mass shootings at polling places that have plagued New Hampshire in recent years.

Oh, wait...

I guess they’re worried Republicans might shoot the ballot. They should’ve in 2008 and 2012.

As long as the polling place is not in a school or on federali grounds you can ccw while voting or while working as an election judge in Colorado. I do not think you can carry and vote in Louisiana.
