[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2000366, member: 1132"] I believe you did, because I made a distinction that you didn't take it into account. You generalized my comments to suit your position. A polling place is a somewhat sacrosanct place in our free society. A gun in no way enhances your ability to vote. I'd challenge you to find an current example where a pistol was necessary to complete the function of voting. On the other hand, a gun may frighten someone on either a rational level (they've been a victim of the illegal use of a gun) or irrational (hoplophobia). Either way, you may unwittingly interfere with the voting rights of a fellow citizen by your display of a firearm in a sacrosanct setting. In my book, that's impolite and uncivilized. Note that I haven't stated that it is in fact illegal, nor that it should be. It should however remain taboo. In this case, I'd be a strong proponent of covering your piece when voting. It's such a small sacrifice for the common good. Is that too much to ask? :anyone: [/QUOTE]
