No need for worry. We only have about 400 mass shootings a year in this country.

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

No need to advertise. Vote, go home. We'll need to deal with the failures of law enforcement when we're finally in power again.

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.
