Throw this in the works.

Early voting in Lubbock Co. is held in several locations, United Supermarkets being one of them. They set up at the 19th and Quaker location in the patio area of the deli. The patio area is enclosed and can be accessed from the outside or from the store proper.

So is the patio the polling place or is the whole store the polling place? Seems that since the patio is self-contained that it would be the polling place and the rest of the store would be free to carry. By the letter of the law and "premise" it seems the whole store is off limits, which is silly (of course most off-limit places are silly).

What is worse is the fact that you could easily walk in, do your shopping, check out, and never see the signs, cones, or polling booths. And if you are from out of the county you don't keep up with where the polling places are. Don't ask me how I know.

Needless to say I did not test the waters this time and left my firearm locked in the truck.
