NH ACTION: Public Hearing to Prohibit Carrying in Public Buildings (02/21/13)

Lobbyist for NEA another educator org. They are anti. Talking addressing violence in schools. Saying need more funding for counslors and gun control.

Do these people realize that each district would vote?
 
Next. Mother who is pro. States community should decide. Some schools cannot afford resource officer.
Wants her ex should be able to protect children.

States that she is a veteran and trained pro. States offensive to call her and others are untrained. Should be up to parents. Bill only gives option, not a mandate.
 
Lot of women speaking. Principal and president of principal org.

" guns not problem or solution." need to focus on mental illness. Train not how to use guns, but focus on detection of mental illness. Blames media for issues. Kids who see violence on tv, repeated reports they think new issue each time. She is against bill but seems neutral...
 
Former educator. This guy was subject to assasination plot by student. Kids had guns in their lockers, but peers turned them in. He wwould have been unarmed if they hadn't been caught. States having some armed staff would make kids think twice.


Ughh they had "hundreds of dollars in violent video games."

" telling us to arm ourselves with pens and scissors ridiculous."
 
Another anti. States " let the police do their job"
Gun free zones not problem, it is suicidal people who act.

Former vet, says after all training he still had issues in combat hitting target. No one is the lone ranger and altars shoot straight......

Sunset mountain fish and game. Pro.

said why we worrying . We already trust teachers with pur students. Criminals don't listen to gun free zones.
 
Rep up now. If kids in new town were killed by terrorist this wouldn't be a partisan issue.
don't blame video games. Resource officers cost money. Seems to be against bill because they wouldn't provide to schools to be armed money wise. And forcing them to vote on it feels they already have option.

Is it the same chairwoman as the last hearing? She had no regards to her constituents and they pushed to have her removed as chairwoman? Why is she still there she doesn't care about anything but her own agenda.
 
Pro up now, states should not be only resource officers depending our kids. Let people decide....

yeah same chair[rolleyes]
 
Another pro . States everyone in school has target on them. This bill makes them have a chance. Gun free schools zones bad. "mass shootings almost always gin free."

Prisons are gun free as well we do not want children being treated as in prison. Again offense for calling people untrained.

- - - Updated - - -

Pro. Bill can start discussion.mtrained people at schools minimizes impact of a criminal with gun.
 
Guy whose wife is a teacher. Only method they are trained in to protect kids is huddle in corner. His wife is trained. Wants locals to decide. End of hearing. Next up 451 constitutional carry!

- - - Updated - - -

Sponsors aren't here yet[hmmm] someone else introducing bill.
 
Goffstown rep. Previously from Vermont. Brought up with guns, didnt realize when he first moved he needed license to conceal lol. "permit process not necessary . It works in Vermont ."

- - - Updated - - -

Pro. Concealed weapon permit not needed because you can get a permit if you can legally purchase anyways.
 
Anti. How can you tell difference between legal carrier or not.

- - - Updated - - -

Rep Hoell. Sponsor. If you can purchase already. What is point. If person goes to range but leaves loaded gun in trunk . Their spouse may break law by driving vehicle.
 
Question to him on why reduce cost of nonresident. States reducing cost is going to increase revenue as they dropped when it was raised. Madame chair face , asked why since we are recognized in 22 states. He says people in mass are ticked off at price, and they are actually next to us.

- - - Updated - - -

This lady again.... Anti. Feels even license as it is is too low, more expensive to keep up teaching. License.

"guns are Lethal weapons ."

Public safety committee needs to make us safe and reduce guns.......
 
Pro, we don't need permission to speak, or religion. Should not need for a right to arms.

Driving, teaching and others are not rights so they are not a comparable thing.
 
David Cahill , director of CoP org. Anti. "fear is if repealed, if a felon if stopped, no reason to be able to do anything if they find a gun."

Wants a database to help identify 'suitable' people. No means to find info. Info protected by Hippa. More licenses granted then denied. Appeal process is in place.
 
Pro. Constitutional carry only offers another method for self defense. Out of state residents should have constitutional rights too. And it was increase without a hearing before, and that is not right. 100 dollar non res fee has to do with diminishing returns.


Ok and rep vallaincourt is a jerk...
 
Anti. State is safe, so not needed. Says all gun bills have same people showing up.

"dangerous bill. "

Things change people get senile. Wants reduced license to, 1year at time. Says in no 88 percent people support background checks. Weakening laws less safe.

Wow when asked about Vermont open carry and safety. "of course, no one to shoot there."

- - - Updated - - -

Pro, background check with every new gun purchase.

Reciprocity important, this would make more negotiating with other states
 
Pro, rep Itse sponsor. "requirement for license conceal, is misplaced safety."
" person you grant license to, is not a worry, the one you'd reject is. Crazy person doesn't care if they have concealed license. "

"purpose is still there for reciprocity."
 
No mayhem in street with other states who have constitutional carry. Vallaincourt, again being himself. Asking why people don't take to court if licensing unconstitutional.
 
Police want it to know people may be armed. Itse states the police should be cautios if police know there should be no legal weapons in home or vehicle.

- - - Updated - - -

Another pro, former rep from sunapee . " current law does not stop bad guys. Law as it is puts barriers in way of good guys."
 
Another rep. Current law does nothing. Many police do not check background anyways.
How many gangbangers have permits. Permits affect only law abiding citizens.

Permits only cursory level scrutiny if CoP actually chooses to.
 
Londonderry rep. Pro. Vet. Didn't need a permit in military. Now after serving he has to ask civil CoP to let him carry. NH has highest vet per capita. Says increase prison sentences for misuse. Don't hurt law abiding citizens.

- - - Updated - - -

Pro, licenses allow someone who has access to police database to find gun owners. Licenses expire. If he carries after that day he is a criminal. Merely for putting gun in pocket.
 
Pro, undoing unconstitutional law. People cannot afford to go to court to fight licensing. (stab at vallaincourt ) police chiefs association worried about felons, but police treat conceal carriers like criminals if they know.
 
Next guy pro. Says why do police worry, this is a law abiding citizen. Motor vehicles have reciprocity, guns too. He is ffl. He doesn't care if he isn't involved in sale if it is legal. Common sense repeal. Open carry legal. A Tshirt becomes a barrier, a d makes a criminal if it goes over part of gun.

- - - Updated - - -

Pro, same common sense stuff.
