Up until the early 1980s there were less than 100 people in ALL NH prisons......think about that, and what kind of state we used to have. And look around now. All the growth, and development has got us what ?

In Gilford-Laconia, it has brought the Lowe's home improvement of Gilford. That'a a huge store with a huge inventory, and it does not seem to have too many customers when compared to Lowes & Home Depots down in Massachusetts. It's very nice of Lowe's to create that place and then wait for the area to grow the numbers needed to make it profitable. Is it profitable now......probably not? Home Depot decided not to build next to the Gilford Lowes due to not enough business.
........

Kidnapping w/ a gun....how dumb is that....a ticket to an institutionalized prison for most of one's life....probably not the brightest bulbs on the tree..

Every once in a blue moon, some young guy will knock on the door trying to sell magazine subscriptions. I'm always suspicious about that and suspect they are looking for an opportunity. As Ronald Reagan said: Peace through understanding.

"Robbery based on the ability to pay."

Hey, check around with your New Hampshire neighbors who's had the same house since 1963, and they'll say: My my, that's exactly what the town is doing to us now with these crazy property taxes!

It's our NH advantage........what advantage!

Where money goes, corruption follows... where development goes, decay follows. It's been that way since the beginning, but nobody ever wants to think about it when dollar signs come to town. As soon as a small population of humble people becomes a larger population split into a group of 'haves' and a group of 'have-nots', each group arrogant in its own way, the battle begins. The common denominator is arrogance--the loss of humility.

Secondcurve is right....if everybody had a gun around the house or a carry permit,there would be a lot less crime.Criminals prey on the weak and unsuspecting.Oh,by the way,those of you who go to Florida in the winter......Florida has a reciprocal carry permit with NH.As long as you travel with the pistol unloaded in your trunk through the gun-law states like Mass,NY,NJ,DC etc.....you can carry it legally in the sunshine state.

Sam,

Are you sure about unloaded trunk theory? I only did a quick search for Mass, but M.G.L.A. 269 § 10 would not appear to make exception for in the trunk and unloaded.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

NEW YORK--The transportation of handguns is prohibited except by a resident with a license to carry. New York law presumes that an individual stopped in possession of five or more handguns, without a state permit, possesses the handguns for illegal sale, thus subjecting this person to an increased sentence. New York is the only state that prohibits the transportation of handguns without a license. Travelers should therefore be particularly careful since they face severe consequences should they inadvertently violate the state's highly restrictive statutes.
The preceding from an NRA website. I believe it is also illegal in DC but the police there say they won't bother anyone if they don't stop there.
