Happy 4th of July to all my NES family

No freedom here in NY... "I just signed a new law to keep New Yorkers safe -- even in the face of a monumental setback from the Supreme Court," acting Gov. Hochul said.
  • A ban on carrying firearms in "sensitive places", including New York City's Times Square - but also schools, universities, government buildings, public protest venues, healthcare facilities, places of worship, libraries, playgrounds, parks, bars, theatres, stadiums, museums, polling places and casinos
  • People will not be allowed to take guns into any business or workplace unless owners put up signs saying guns are welcome
  • Those applying for a licence will have to provide four character references, take firearms safety training and practice shooting, undergo periodic background checks and turn over contact information for their spouse, domestic partner or any other adults living in their household
  • Applicants will have to turn over a list of social media accounts they have had in the past three years
Will be calling the county sheriff next week to get the restrictions removed from my LTC. We'll see how that goes.

Hochul is dictatorial government defined. Completely contrary to liberty and freedom.

People of NY, just say NO and disobey every one of her absurd dictates.
 
Happy Independence Day!

When I worked for a British company, it wasn’t unusual to have a few Brits in the US office over in the States the 4th of July weekend. I’d always invite them to a BBQ and fireworks. One time, three Brits, my wife, toddler daughter and I were at the fireworks show in New Boston, NH and there was a lull and “half time” was announced on the PA. They asked what that was about and I said that’s when we recreate the American Revolution - they were invited to go out centerfield and play the British. They were just setting up some US flags and had a fife & drum unit gathering to play under the field lights. They laughed politely, paused, and said - you ARE kidding, aren’t you? 😅42B7AD61-8596-42AC-A465-FE1293E46778.jpeg

We have some descendants of Samuel Whittemore in SoNH - one attended an Appleseed I was at in Pelham a few years back and another in in my amateur radio club.

It's good to remember the 56 men who signed that document 246 years ago were basically guaranteeing themselves a quick trip to a hangman's noose if they were caught.
My wife's great, great, great, great, great grandfather was one of those men; Roger Sherman of Connecticut.

I read that the NRA actually supported her in 2012 when she ran Congress:

The NRA endorsed Hochul in 2012 when she ran, and lost, the race for the 27th Congressional District seat to Republican Chris Collins. Hochul had an "A" rating with the NRA and for a House voting record to protect the Second Amendment and rights of gun owners, including voting in favor of a law to allow people with a valid permit to carry their concealed weapon in any U.S. state.
