Senate Bill 44, which aimed to put restrictions on the issuance of concealed carry licenses, was unanimously defeated in a Senate committee this past Thursday. I would say that a conservative estimation would put the number of people in attendance at about 200. Other estimates, including those by Gun Owners of New Hampshire, have put the number in attendance at almost 600!
Only three people testified in favor of the bill: one sponsor and two police chiefs. There were dozens that testified in opposition, including members of gun organizations and even one of the co-sponsors. The Chair of the committee saw that there was overwhelming opposition to the bill and therefore ended testimony and moved the bill to a vote. There was essentially no debate among the committee and the bill was promptly voted Inexpedient to Legislate (DEAD).
This was a good victory for gun owners. We showed those in power that we will not stand for any limitation on our right to keep and bear arms!
In Libertate,
