The Lancaster County commissioners on Tuesday were asked to consider barring voters from carrying firearms into polling places across the county.

Given discussions about the proposal at the board's weekly work session, however, they're not likely to give the measure much consideration.

"The regulation of firearms is clearly not something that's within the county's purview," commissioners Chairman Scott Martin said.

im not in lancaster county, but i can gaurentee you there will be at least one firearm in my polling place all day. i can also gaurentee that if i my county were to pass something like this, i would not enforce it.

wtf are they going to do if they are carrying anyway? deny them their right to vote? "please pick which constitutional right you would like to have today sir, only 1 please."

I am in Lancaster County and about 20 minutes from the court house. Fuck the County commissioners and the pigs they rode in on. I could go on about our local mayor but the NRA woke his ass up.

Lancaster County voters will not be barred from packing heat at the 235 local polling places during the general election next week.

Mary Stehman, chief clerk of the county's Board of Elections, on Wednesday withdrew a resolution she had proposed to the county commissioners Tuesday, which would have banned the possession of firearms at county polling sites.

Stehman said she withdrew the resolution after reviewing state gun laws, which prevent municipal governments from regulating when and where guns can be carried.
