Re: Carry in Texas polling place? it depends

It's all about voter intimidation. Back when the Democrats had a stranglehold on Texas politics from 1870 (Amendment XV) through the Civil Rights Era, one of the most important jobs of the local Sheriff was to suppress the Negro vote. If the people are not allowed to carry when they vote, not even carry concealed, it's much more difficult for the people to stand up to the local Sheriff intimidating voters and potential voters.

As it always has been, around the world and throughout the centuries, weapon control is all about controlling and oppressing a disarmed populace.
