Just wondering if it's legal to carry your CCW while voting at the polls.  If so, will you be packing??

How else can you  punch the ballot?


I ain't having no damn hanging chads this year!

Interestingly enough, in Indiana it is legal to carry (w/CCW permit) to the voting booth even though the voting booth is in the school gym!  This applies to all civilians, police included.  The case arose over an off duty officer being disarmed at the polls last year.  Judge got it right!

No.

Here is the pertinent section in Florida:

(12)  No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize any person to carry a concealed weapon or firearm into any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05; any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station; any detention facility, prison, or jail; any courthouse; any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her courtroom; any polling place; any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district; any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof; any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms; any school administration building; any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose; any elementary or secondary school facility; any area technical center; any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or nonlethal electric weapon or device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile; inside the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft; or any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law. Any person who willfully violates any provision of this subsection commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

Even though it's been proven you can, I'll still leave mine at home when I go to the school and vote.

Nope, not even for poll inspectors like me who are often threatened... I've had to call the police several times.
