NH: House speaker supports gun legislation, despite others’ concerns

[RamboLiberal]

CONCORD – House Speaker William O’Brien, R-Mont Vernon, personally signed onto legislation that would make New Hampshire the fourth state to allow concealed guns to be carried without a permit.

But law enforcement leaders, gun victims and some gun owner rights leaders from differing perspectives criticized the plan across the spectrum.

Some attacked it as either a too open-ended policy that threatens public safety while other Second Amendment defenders said it does not deliver enough freedom for the right to bear arms.

Rep. Jennifer Coffey, R-Andover, said her bill (HB 330) may need some tweaking but the current system of permits to carry conflict with individual rights under federal and state Constitutions.

4. When Jim Crow got dropped, Jessee Helms switched parties...

once gun control is gone from the platform where will the anti folks go? It is failed policy equating gun control with crime control.

No data to support it, only feelings.. And those are only worth so much..
