Open Carry NH Man Under Fire From All Sides
The only one not firing is the man with the gun
By Andrew deRenzy
Wednesday, August 12th, 2009, 8:38A NH Man is under fire from all sides, because he open carried at a protest in NH.
According to NH Law he has every right to open carry, at it has become increasingly common in NH, hence why the police did not do anything to this law abiding citizen.
“Open carriage of licensed handguns is legal in New Hampshire”
Firearms do not have to be registered in New Hampshire, and there is
no requirement to have a license or permit in order to open carry. The
New Hampshire constitution makes the freedom to practice your religion
and the freedom to own a firearm equal – you don’t need to ask the
state first.
Here is Chris Matthews crazed whack at William. Trying to appeal to the feel good mentality of the population.
Chris Matthews, I don’t like people that get tingly feelings up their legs. I don’t think that is appropriate. Should we ban all tingly feelings up legs? Just because we feel uncomfortable or someone takes something the wrong way does that mean we violate someone elses FUNDAMENTAL rights? Remember in NH, right to carry is equal to right of religion. Just because you disagree or you think he is trying to be provocative does not mean anyone can violate his rights.
William didn’t fall into Matthews birther trap, or trying to paint this man as wanting to spill blood by finishing the quote on his sign. The full quote of his sign, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” is from Thomas Jefferson. Dissent from our government is taboo in most circles nowadays, while it used to be common that the states would stick it to the feds. Our states no longer stand up against the federal government, they are standing up to us!
People are going to beat the Second Amendment drum in the comments, but (a) I doubt it would have sat well with our readers if lefties carrying Bushitler signs had shown up to Dubya’s events packing heat and (b) having a right doesn’t mean you’re obliged to exercise it, particularly in circumstances where it would be provocative to do so. I’ve knocked atheist groups for suing for the right to display a “Darwin tree” or whatever on public grounds next to a Christmas tree, not because they’re not entitled but because they’re being spiteful, incendiary douchebags by doing so. How is Captain Sidearm here any different?
If you do a little research you’ll see that this man was not trying to be provocative. He is part of the NH Underground Group that is assembling peacefully in NH. Encouraging starving the government beast, and exercising all their rights. They frequently open carry, and typically in groups. When they open carry alone they frequently get harassed by the cops, as that is seen more as trying to scare people or get them riled up. So they do actually try not to open carry alone. Don’t forget the cops were there, and they know the law, and this group. If they didn’t make a big deal why should anyone else?
