DT and concealed carry laws into polling venues

Since DT is no longer restricting his veiled threats of violence to HC (re: his recent statements encouraging his supporters to be very vigilant about voting irregularities),

"We're going to watch Pennsylvania. Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don't come in and vote five times," he said at a rally in Altoona. "If you do that, we're not going to lose. The only way we can lose, in my opinion -- I really mean this, Pennsylvania -- is if cheating goes on." Trump went on to say that sheriff's and "everyone" should be watching, etc.

I am asking for those interested to supply current concealed carry laws or regulations in this thread.

This is NOT a thread to argue for or against guns, gun rights, squirt guns etc. This is meant to be an informational thread as people in various places on DU are chatting and wondering. If this does become a fightin' thread, it will be deleted and we'll try again.

So, there seems to be a plethora of articles etc. online that I don't care to weed thru. I did look at this site briefly that seems to put information in one spot. I am making no claims about whether it is right or left wing.

Naturally, for those of you inclined, a check with your local county sheriff's office, city or township office is recommended.

There are regulations also about the monitoring of voters or voting at polling places that people who did not go thru the Bush and initial Obama campaigns may want to become familiar with.

Thanks!

Firearms Related Questions

1. Is an individual required to carry a copy of his or her Safety Inspection Certificate with him or her at all times?

Michigan law does not require a person to have a copy of his or her certificate with his or her pistol after it has been registered; nor does the law require that a person keep a copy. As of January 2009, Safety Inspection Certificates are no longer issued.

2. How should long-guns be legally transported?

MCL 750.227d describes that any firearm other than a pistol can only be transported in or upon a motor vehicle or any self-propelled vehicle designed for land travel if the firearm is unloaded and is one or more of the following: taken down, enclosed in a case, carried in the trunk of the vehicle, or inaccessible from the interior of the vehicle.

Which states have open carry laws?

ANSWER
Thirty-one states, including Colorado, Vermont and Kentucky, allow firearms to be carried openly without a permit, says the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Thirteen states allow open carry with a permit, including Massachusetts and Oklahoma. California and Texas are among the six states that prohibit open carry of any firearm.

Illinois, Florida, California and the District of Columbia prohibit openly carrying any firearms, notes the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. In Texas, South Carolina and New York, the open carry of handguns is illegal but not long guns such as rifles and shotguns. New Jersey, Minnesota and Massachusetts allow the open carry of long guns but not pistols.

Thirteen states require a permit to open carry, including Indiana and Oklahoma.
Even in states that allow the open carry of various types of firearms, certain restrictions may apply to specific locations, such as government buildings, schools, public transportation and places where alcohol is served, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

Some states that allow the open carry of firearms require they be unloaded.

Although Pennsylvania and Virginia generally allow open carry, certain cities in these states place limits. Even in states where it is legal to openly carry guns, private businesses are allowed to establish their own policies that may forbid customers with firearms on the premises.
