    Default Carry at election point?

    I don't have a firearm to carry at the moment since I'm waiting for my card to be printed (my shotgun would arouse suspicion as well as my .22 target pistol ;D )

    For those who do: can you legally carry inside the election point? I'm thinking that it would be OK?

    just keep it concealed. Dont think there wil be a prob. I wil have a r5 at my election point wear a bullet proof as per instruction of my sup. Man it is going to be boreing! Luckily i didnt have to stand in a que today to vote. Hope they give the cops food. Mayb i should make a sighn and hang it around my neck: have gun want food. Wat do you guys think wil the public say?

    I'm asking if its legal for non LEO. The IEC website is not much help.

    Piet, of course cops will be allowed with guns. Just don't smoke your pipe inside the building...

    throw in a amstel and we can make a plan grn1. Anyway there is no law that i know of that says you can not carry a conceled gun. It wil depend on the cops at that point you wil vote at.

    ;D

    I see your username is back at last. Anyway, how long do you have to stay at your election point? You'll probably get a break?

    our election point is a big empty warehouse. you wlk from point to point, vote and you're out the back door.

    aint no guards checking or nothing.

    and yes, is legal to carry when you go to vote.

    in fact, in our area, there's a likely fight between political parties so hey... you go unarmed if you want to.

    oh, and be careful what colours you wear. dont piss anyone off by matching some crazy-a$$ party's colours

But it wil probibly be me as i am the youngest. Belive it or not a r5 gets extremly heavy after 5 hours,i would rather have a shotgun... Ranger go back on wendsday. I bet you there wil be cops. Min 3 at a point
