Aspen Bans Guns...

...at polling places.

"Pitkin County commissioners unanimously passed an emergency ordinance that seeks to ban all firearms, whether open or concealed, away from the county administration building and local polling places through the end of the year."

"This is about protecting workers trying to provide public services, not an effort to violate the constitutional right to bear arms."

Yet another solution looking for a problem that, until now, has not existed.

Yup- I am unaware of any violent incidents caused by responsible open or concealed carriers at local government buildings and polling places. No doubt any future criminals intent on harm will be completely deterred by these new ordnances and signage.

Note to self, stay out of polling places. It's not safe to be in a gun free zone

So in other words what they are really saying is " were going to do some highly illegal voting activity and do not want to be called on it "

That or they're planning a mass casualty event at one of the polling places.

Your mail box is a polling place... right?

Aurora, CO, is doing it too. Saw a sign saying it was illegal for me to drop off my ballot.

Where was that?

Aurora Central Recreational Center,

Just North of me on Tower Road.

It was a piece of paper posted on the ballot box.

"per such and such regulation, if you carry a gun within x feet of this ballot box, we're going to fuck you up."
