Who is the troll like lady who asked "Don't people have to answer questions?"
That's Rep. Laura Pantelakos (d). A former state rep I am friends with had this to say about here: "she represents everything that's bad in legislative government."

I don't see a problem with requiring an NICS check for the permit if this is their only issue.
How many of the "good ones" testified FOR CC?
Strongly disagree. Next time the democrats take the legislature, there's a high probability that constitutional carry will be reversed. When that happens, we don't want greater restrictions on license issuance than there are currently.
(This is what torpedoed the bill last time--certain groups wanted to strengthen the requirements for the optional license for purposes of reciprocity and purchase streamlining.)
Not one that attended. I know an officer who is for it. But he is a "beat cop" in a small town nearby and only a year older than me. He would have had to ask his chief for permission to testify assuming he could get the time off.
Tourist families who already in fear of guns because of the daily drumbeat of incidents on the news, may hesitate to come to a tourist destination that they regards as a return to the Wild West.

This time there is consensus. GONH, PGNH, and NHFC are in agreement.

A rare astrological confluence of the stars and planets. I hope it holds. It's always an excuse when the 3 separate, giving legislators an out for voting no...
I had no IDEA I was afraid of guns or avoided certain parts of NH because of the violence up there. (Well, Nashua, maybe)

Screw PGNH. Earl Sweeney is on their Council of Advisors, and Sweeney is no friend to gun owners.
Just got ambushed in the hallway by Rep. Laura Pantelakos (d) over my position of being against the background check bill. Apparently according to her I don't care about children according to her.
Kimberly Morin speaking now.
Hello Mr.:
Thanks for writing. I'll add you to my list of those supporting this bill. It did not come before the House yesterday but I will watch for it and study it carefully. My husband is a lifelong member of NRA and we both are strong supporters of gun rights. I had a long talk with our Police Chief David Salois before the legislative session began and learned his perspective on the value of concealed carry permits in small towns like ours where the police tend to know problem situations. I hope to learn more and be ready to vote responsibly on this and the other bills coming before us. Please keep in touch. Carolyn.

This bill does not get rid of the permit - it retains it for reciprocity in other states.
update: and I'll add that it is optional and not required

Agreed on Sweeney but there are a lot of good folks on PGNH

They need to do a lot of work to regain the trust of a lot of people after last year but kicking Cohen to the curb was a good first step
we really need to get all the pro-gun groups in NH together united so we can stand against the folks who only claim to be pro-gun. sure things are way better up here compared to a place like MA for example but while stellar organizations like comm2a exist, they should have existed a long time ago. GOAL has been around for a long time, but just like in NH the problem is awareness. i was always shocked when i'd talk to other MA gun owners when they had no idea about GOAL, no idea about comm2a.
what we need in NH is to get organized before shit gets totally out of control and the name of the game is catch up.
I like the idea of having an organization like Comm2A up here in NH working along side NHFC.

And if they do not, to take that money that you would donate to said NH comm2A to a candidates who are running against the anti-2A incumbents.
Welch and Tholl are also on PGNH... Let's watch how they vote.
I was denied for my renewal in Newton nh a week ago.. A renewal from the same department that issued my original
Yes Newton.. He said due to traffic violations about 10 years ago..
Correct. Being denied for a speeding ticket from years before he issued my last PRL
