Gun Control Group Urging People to Text Authorities and Report Armed Citizens
Breitbart ^ | October 21, 2018 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 10/21/2018 4:54:51 PM PDT by familyop

The gun control group “Guns Down America” is asking citizens to send a text alerting authorities if they see an armed citizen near a polling area. They suggest their request is made out of concern of the political climate under President Trump.

Check the laws of your state. A couple of years ago, it was illegal to carry near polling places in Florida, Georgia, Missouri and Texas. I don't know if that's the case now. Last I knew, it was also illegal in federal building and a few other kinds of places. Check your laws.

And around the Net, let lefty know that she can't tell who is carrying, so why bother? Many people carry, and no one else can see it.

And what about tape measures on belts under shirts? What if lefties see those and report them to the cops? ;-)

Just another excuse to harass lawful gun owners.

I think the correct response would be to text authorities every time they see someone exercising their First Amendment Wright’s also.

It's illegal to carry near a poling station in AZ as well. I think that's the case in most states - plus, my polling station is in a middle school.

Around here police are pretty sanguin about people who carry. I was pulled over with a burned out tail light recently and, as required, told the officer I was carrying. He asked me where I had it and I told him. He said "OK, just leave it there." And that was it.

Before the left went totally crazy and started physically attacking people whose politics they disagree with I rarely carried a gun. Since 2016 I carry every day. If I'm going to be somewhere with crowds I'll also carry a backup revolver that can't be knocked out of battery.

How about a text if we see illegals approaching a polling place?

As best as I can see, unless the location is already banned, no restriction in Nevada. I can and will conceal carry as my location is a commercial store where I already conceal carry.

I still don’t understand why they were not arrested and prosecuted.

We may carry openly in Indiana, and many do. Citizens would have to do an awful lot of reporting, and then have it ignored.

Well, thanks to Antifa, I’m carrying my heirloom knife to the polling place. If they come at me, I will be their Huckleberry.
