(Reuters) – A Michigan judge sided with gun-rights advocates on Tuesday in allowing the ‘open carry’ of firearms at polling places on Election Day and blocking enforcement of an order by the state attorney general barring such weapon displays to prevent voter intimidation.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, vowed to immediately appeal the judge’s ruling, saying “this issue is of significant public interest and importance to our election process.”
