The NH Legislative Facilities Committee voted today to ban firearms in the NH State House.

I'm working on a press release but here's what it looks like so far:

This is a Joint Committee, and members are:

Sylvia Larsen   
Terie Norelli   
Margaret Hassan
Mary Jane Wallner
Peter Bragdon
Sherman Packard
Lou D'Allesandro
Marjorie Smith
Daniel Eaton
Gene Chandler
Martha Fuller Clark
Sheila Roberge

The Joint Facilities committee just passed by an 8-3 vote (party lines)
the following regulation on the State House:

"No person, except for law enforcement personnel in active duty, shall
carry a firearm or other dangerous or deadly weapon or an explosive,
openly or concealed, while inside the State House, the Legislative
Office Building, the Upham Walker House, or any of the underground
tunnels connected to these buildings. Law enforcement personnel, when
requested by State House security staff, must produce sufficient
identification establishing their status as law enforcement personnel."

Spread this far and wide. After the Democrats got crushed on this issue
in the legislative process they are passing it through the back door. No
one seems to know how this will be enforced.

Start spreading the word to our people...

For liberty,

Andy Demers

This was apparently done on a party line vote with the Democrats on the committee voting in favor of this unconstitutional rule.

I'm thinking about heading up a caravan. The idea of an open carry protest inside the building sounds really good to me.

Shall we say 3pm at the statehouse on Wednesday to protest the passage?  OCing inside and outside of course....  Wednesday gives a bit more time for people to make arrangements to be there...of course who knows maybe people will show up today as well...

I'm not sure what to say about this - BUT IT AIN"T GOOD! That is: what I'd have to say about the committee vote ain't good, what I'd have to say about the Dems certainly ain't good, and what I'd have to say about those unprincipled, fake-small-government Republicans who got themselves into their minority position by not standing on their supposed small-government principles ain't good.

You mean politicians lie when they run for office?! Tell me it isn't so! (haha) Even politicians who claim to be "small-government" Republicans?? (LOL)

Statehouse 2:30-4pm Wednesday December 23rd.  I'll be trying to go to speak to the reps who voted for this.

[Lumpy]

I think we need to call up some more of the other bureaucrats and ask them to come armed as well.
