[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2004164, member: 1132"] Is this what you meant to say? I think we should really make the distinction that a concealed gun isn't intimidating at all, because no one except the carrier knows it's there. Yet it's still immediately available for defense. Laws determine what is prohibited. However, I still feel that societal norms have an influence on what is and isn't considered acceptable conduct. Even if the law said it was OK to open carry at polling stations, I would consider it poor form to do so. Someone who doesn't feel comfortable around your piece in Walmart can always shop somewhere with a gunbuster sign. They can't do that with voting. They have one place to do it on election day. As for your last sentence, have you asked everyone you know? You may not know you know someone who's intimidated by a gun carried by a stranger. I certainly know quite a few people of voting age that are intimidated, even by guns sitting there with no one touching them. I also know young children that want to shoot every gun they see! :) [/QUOTE]
