Dear Sir or Madam:
We're writing to understand the county's stance on the possession and/or carryingof firearms in a polling place in Ramsey County by a person carrying a firearm underM N S t a t u t e 6 2 4 . 7 1 4 .
November 3'"'^, 2015 was election day in Minnesota.
One of our supporters was voting at Nativity Church in Saint Paul when he saw whatappeared to be an official Ramsey County sign banning the possession of firearms atthe polling location. A second supporter saw a similar sign at another pollinglocation (see enclosed photo].
A later review of the 2015 "Polling Place Reference Guide" published by your officeindicates that "firearms and explosives" are prohibited in polling places (pg 55].
With that as background, we'd like to understand the following, in writing, todetermine our next course of action:
1. What is the policy of Ramsey County elections in regards to the lawful carryof a firearm under the Minnesota Permit to Carry law (MN 624.714] in apolling place?
2. Please provide us with a copy of your written policy on this matter.
3. Under what legal authority do you post signs at polling places and/or have apolicy in place banning firearms?
