Some years back a friend of mine who had moved to Nashua told me that welfare was almost unheard of in New Hampshire and as such, those seeking to live off of the efforts of people who work had migrated to Massachusetts where they could partake of "redistribution of the public wealth".

This was told to me maybe 30+ years ago.

It's still true. It works both ways too. A lot of good, hardworking folks come to NH to be free of high taxes and big government.

I love stories like this, especially from states with some history of police interfering with lawful OC. We have been criticized for being anti police, but we are not. We are anti police harassment, but we good guys are all on the same side.

Amen.

I am definitely not anti-police. But I am definitely remember-for-whom-you-work when it comes to any government employee of any kind, anywhere. They work for us and are our employees.. not the other way around.

My take with LEO's is rather simple. They need us (as in the "good guys") just like we need them. It's a two-way street. We can be their best friends or among their worst enemies. It's up to them to keep us on their side.

I think that's a fair assessment.

Entirely believable. Hooksett is a small town and conservative. They also have one of, if not the best, gun shops in New England--Riley's. Typical Masshole, and good for the store owner. Stupid bitch. Nice to hear of cops with brains for a change, but like I said, not surprising in Hooksett.

Wait a second...the cop informed the OC'r about the Free State Project? That's a switch!
