With Donald Trump calling on citizens to guard against a "rigged" election, some Michigan election officials are worried people may bring guns — and perhaps intimidate voters — to polling places on Tuesday.
Michigan law is silent on the issue of guns at polling places, and there is a question of whether schools and churches designated as "weapon-free zones" have to loosen their rules during voting hours.
"State election law does not address firearms laws in polling locations, so normal rules for carrying laws apply," said Fred Woodhams, spokesman for the Michigan Secretary of State, which oversee elections. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
