I approve,,,,But carefully. We must not forget what has happened in Colorado as disgruntled people move from socialist states into free ones,, and then soon begin to create the socialist policies they found comfortable.

If you move to a free state, its all or nothing. We don’t want you if its socialism plus owning a gun you want. You have to embrace the whole enchilada. We like fracking, BBQ, religion, schools that do not teach America hate, marriage the way it was supposed to be, etc,,,,

Um... You can’t set up a shooting range in town, so they must have bought way out of town with some serious acreage.

We almost pushed Constitutional Carry through in New Hampshire in 2012 when the Republicans had a super-majority in the house and majority in the Senate. The bill got to the Rat governor’s desk, and he of course vetoed it. The Republicans overrode several vetoes that year and voted on it again, but didn’t have enough votes to override this veto (by a small amount). They figured, ‘oh well, we’ll get it next year when we have a new Republican governor.’

But, nope, the residents of the state elected a new Rat governor Maggie Hassan and switched the House to Rats. They probably won’t ever get a chance again at Constitutional Carry.

Judy: Welcome to the old Bill Loeb “free territory” of New Hampshire.

Now you will have to fight the red hordes from NY and Massachusetts who want to turn Manchester into “Little Moscow”.

Send them packing like the snows did to Napoleon’s armies.

“I approve,,,,But carefully.’

I agree... I live in Idaho, and a lot of people seem to be inclined to move here from the left coast. We really don’t want them if they are going to bring their B.S. with them...

Yes, co has been polluted by liberal idiocy. I for one intend to ignore the magazine law. If I want additional magazines I will buy them.

Texas, Montana, Wyoming, Tennessee, North Carolina are some choices for people who are leaving

In Texas we like our guns, AND WE WILL KEEP THEM!

Tell that to David Koresh. While the Davidian compound may have had a lot of guns, they also had a lot of people. There were probably fewer firearms per adult in that compound than the average Texas home at the time the ATF attacked. They did a lot of damage and killed a lot of people over a couple of tax stamps.

I’ve kind of lost track since the CO magazine disaster, and Magpul’s departure. Has there been much in the way of pushback, and are there plans by any conservative CO politicians and/or groups to undo those laws?

She can move if she wants. I’m in Colorado, and plan to stay and fight.

Given the scale of CT abuses and the future political picture she noted, I’d say her choice was a different matter from the CO situation. CO caught the problem early and made the morons pay a political price while there was no such pushback possible in CT. In addition, the CO sheriffs have stiffened their resolve there while there is no equivalent in CT. Leaving the field where there is an untenable defensive position while preserving your ability to fight another day seems prudent to me. YMMV...

I applaud them for their tough decision but I also grieve that any state has to be abandoned to the leftist cruds.

Never forget that Hillary Clinton, Billy Jeff’s enforcer, met with Gov. Ann Richards shortly before the massacre of innocent women and children in Waco by federal forces. She is the current Democrat front runner for president. Your constitutional rights are never safe when Communist Democrats are in charge of the government.

hate to say it.. Texas is turning blue before your very eyes.. You have a Rat infestation problem and they are running to your state for the jobs. They are bringing the very crap they created in the last state.

They need to be educated that the problem they fled from is of their own creation.

Congratulations on your successful escape, but...
A gun control bill was soundly defeated just this past week by liberty-loving New Hampshire legislators. indicates that the enemy still lurks, and is making attempts.
Of course I can say that about my very own Texas.

Good luck!

Good for you! One wonders whether the liberals will get the message, though, being so dead set on reforming society to what they think is desirable.

I’m starting to think about the direction of the state in which I live, Virginia. It won’t take much to get me to leave if the northern carpetbaggers gain more and more control.
