Make your voice heard! Come testify or at least sign in and make your presence known. HB 1201 is going to be heard in the N.H Senate Wildlife, Fish and Game and Agriculture Committee on Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 2:40 pm in the LOB (Legislative Office Building) Room 103
Tell the Senators on the Wildlife Committee you want them to sponsor and support the Hopper Amendment from the House to HB 1201 in the Senate! There are enough poaching laws on the books to stop poachers, and RSA 207:7 restricts how you may carry your self defense tool in your vehicle which is defined as any motor vehicle, OHRV, snowmobile, boat or aircraft. Farmers cannot even shoot a rabid animal from a parked tractor! The House amendment (Hopper 2010-0632H) to HB 1201 would have decriminalized having loaded magazines/clips in your motor vehicle, boat, RV, etc. and clarified what defines a LOADED SHOTGUN OR RIFLE AND LOADED MUZZLELOADER. RSA 207:7
Representative Hopper’s common sense floor amendment was defeated in the House.
