Please cite the law (or is it a lack thereof?) both federal and state that pertains to firearms in polling places?

OC'd on my bicycle to a doctor's office on 10 mile today, no issues, not even a single comment. I even got a chuckle from the nurse when I told her to subtract 3# from the scale for my gun/ammo. :D

Looks like I found a good general physician within walking/riding distance. :banana:

Riding back up Lawn st to Frazho, so I could drop off a Rx at Rite-Aid, I had a RPD pass by me. The car was heading towards me on my strong side. I nodded to the officer but I couldn't really see thru the windshield glare very well to see if they responded. No issues. :monkey

I opened carried while I voted. It was in a church's annex. I got a few raised eyebrows and even pasted a LEO who did a double take on the way out but no problems, although I was only there for 10 minutes.

I know a church official could have asked me to leave but I am not sure if a poll worker could have.

I'd be interested in a legal opinion on whether a church official could ask you to leave. The church signed a lease to the state for voting purposes. I'd say, for election day, the leased area becomes state property, covered by preemption.
