This I agree 100%Even if that part wasn't clear, this guy crossed the legal line when he returned carrying after being notified and asked to leave.

I'm clearly not as smart as you.It never seemed like a grey area at all to me. Still doesn't. It's pretty cut and dry.
Guy's an idiot. Returning would be trespass. Nothing at all cut and dry about a polling place being owned, rented, or leased by the government, or about it being a meeting of government officials.
Good point. I never thought of it that way either.Just playing devils' advocate here...would it be trespass if the order to leave was not a lawful order? Is the person who told him to leave in lawful control of that property? How do you know?
Let's say that I am minding my own business, walking through a public park and some soccer mom tells me (ignorant of the actual law) that I can't carry a gun there and that I have to leave. Are you of the opinion that I am bound by that order? I am of the opinion that since a park is not a prohibited place, and that I have every right to be there, and especially that said soccer mom isn't in legal control of the property, I could and would ignore that order to leave.
