What are the odds that someone who needs to carry a gun into a polling place will be unhinged enough to trigger a tragedy?

And then there's the fear that they could follow you out and shoot you.

I didn't realize that any jurisdiction would allow that type of personal invasion. But I don't doubt it, either.
