Here's the situation: I am currently serving as a county election official in Lancaster County, PA. I was OCing all morning at the polling place until about 9:30 (three and a half hours after we'd been there) when the chief election judge came over and told me that it looked like I was carrying a gun. I told her I am carrying a gun. She then proceeded to launch into a tirade and tell me that I wasn't allowed to carry, blah blah blah. Mind you, I had already done the research to determine that it was legal. She called someone and came back and said she had the authority to make me remove it. I told her she did not. We argued for a bit and finally I told her I would lock it in the car while she figured it out so there would be no disruption of the voting process. I am also carrying concealed so I wasn't totally disarmed and my vehicle was in sight. About five minutes later she got a phone call and then called me off to the side. She apologized and said the phone call was from the General Registrar (Head of Elections) for the county who told her that she must allow me to carry. She was then very pleasant and I went and retrieved my firearm and now I OCIng again. Good to know the Registrar knew the law and made the correction without me having to make a phone call. Get out there and VOTE!!!
