My circuit clerk told me to look up the voting rights act of 1968.

Going to get my enhanced CC permit on Thursday.. From my understanding once you get the enhanced permit you can carry just about everywhere except

in courtrooms during a judicial 96 proceeding, any police, sheriff or highway patrol station or any detention facility, prison or jail.

So Churches, schools are ok as long as they don't post a "No Firearms" sign.

I started to tell her I was a human weapon and to just bring the voting machine outside for everyone's safety.

I gave you the AG's opinion on page 2 of this thread. Nothing has changed on this issue since it was handed down. You can go in to vote with your service gun, but you cant hang around the precinct or keep your marked vehicle parked at the polling place for longer than it takes to vote because it could be considered voter intimidation.

I had a lady tell me I had to leave mine in the car and I laughed and said " sorry I'm on duty and I don't go unarmed". I told her to go read her law again.
