NH going green? House committee advances bill that would allow unlicensed CCW

[Pullo]

CONCORD – New Hampshire may soon be rolling back gun control laws to allow anyone to carry a firearm without a concealed weapons permit.

The House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee voted 11-6 Wednesday to recommend HB 330 pass the House. In addition to eliminating concealed weapons permits, the bill removes restrictions related to transporting firearms in vehicles.

<snip>

Rep. Kenneth Kreis, R-moran-Canterbury, who chaired the sub-committee that worked on the bill, said the law would allow someone to carry a weapon on a snowmobile for example, but that person could still be prosecuted for hunting out of season if he shot a deer.

Several Democrats on the committee were concerned eliminating the concealed weapon permit requirement could allow a person with mental illness to carry a concealed weapon.

"We're saying anybody over the age of 18 can carry a concealed weapon and go any place they want to go," said Rep. Laura Pantelakos, D-Portsmouth. "We're opening up the flood gates with this bill and heading into very, very dangerous waters."

The committee did recommend HB 378 be approved by the House. The bill removes the mandatory jail sentence for committing a felony while armed. The mandatory sentence provision is what sent Ward Bird to jail.

11. So show us the problems this has caused in next-door Vermont.

If this is so nefarious, wouldn't there be examples of trouble you could show us?

They would be much more effective for your argument than growling and sputtering with half-concealed anger.

5. I recall some NH prohi having a fit about this a few weeks back

She as much as said that Granite Staters were generally of the wrong political persuasion for this to be a good idea.

IOW, she was advocating a political test for a civil right.

8. I have news for you.

We have our very own Maine prohi throwing a fit about it right here

6. The Teabaggers are taking over the Granite State.

10. Maybe they are, and maybe they aren't- but gun laws have little to do with it.

Remember the very blue state next door has this already.
