Went and voted today off of Eastern in a parking lot trailer. I was standing in line when an official voter person asked me if I was a LEO. I told him I wasn't and that I was just here to vote as an American. He said "you can't have a gun here"

Me: Why not?

Official: Because you are not a cop

Me: What does that have to do with anything?

Official: Well you can't vote with a gun!

Me: Why not?

Official: Well everyone knows you can't vote with a gun!

Me: Really, everyone?

Official: YES!

Me: I know the "everyone knows that" argument may work in the 3rd grade along with "I'm rubber and you're glue" but could state which law doesn't allow me to vote with a gun?

Official: I will look it up and ask my boss.

Me: O.K. you do that.

After I voted and was leaving I asked if he found the law that EVERYONE knows about. He decided to not answer and then handed me my "I voted" sticker.

Ask if they are LEO. When they say no, ask them even if it is the law, what givesyou the right to enforce it if you're not LEO? Sounds like someone must have set him straight, which is a good thing.

I thought the trailer I voted in last time said no firearms on a long list of rules. It was not even close to a school.

I couldn't agree more, everytime I read someone's post that say they were asked if they were anLEO, I wonder if it means it's ok for THEM to OC in whatever situation they find themselfs in. Just my .02

Got done voting today in Douglas County. Deputy was there talking to the poll workers.

Only thing he said was "Have a nice day" when I was done voting.

Gotta love NV, especially compared to PRK 2 miles down the road.
