[Posted Thursday, March 4, 2010, at 1:23 p.m.] Two months ago the New Hampshire Joint Legislative
Facilities Committee, without a public hearing or a full House or Senate vote,
banned guns in the State House and Legislative Office Building. This morning,
March 4, State Rep. Jenn Coffey, senior advisor of Pro-Gun New Hampshire, sent
the following email message. Note: State Rep. Gene Chandler, former Speaker of
the House, is also an advisor of Pro-Gun New Hampshire.
...
In an effort to stop the Second Amendment Community from
organizing, the Legislative Administration Committee has suddenly scheduled a
public hearing for HB1693 for Monday March 8th at 2pm in the Legislative Office
Building room 208!
HB1693 is a late filed bill by Rep. Chandler to strip the
Facilities Committee of the power to control firearms, knives, and other tools
of self-defense within the State House complex. It also repeals the ban put
into effect on December 21st of last year.
It is vital that our community come to this hearing and
show in numbers how we feel about the unconstitutional actions of the facilities
committee last year by supporting Rep. Chandler! I know this is short notice
and some may not be able to attend, and they know this as well which is why we
believe this hearing was scheduled with little notice, so if you can not be
there PLEASE, write a PERSONAL AND POLITE letter to the members of the
Legislative Administration Committee and letters to the editor of your local
paper TODAY!
