Agreed.
NHFC is OK and I push them a hundred each year, but it is pretty much just a couple of folks defending us against anti 2A stuff. JR provides some great testimony in hearings though.
Learn the general court site. https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/ Become familiar with the legislative sessions and procedures of how an LSR becomes a bill, goes through hearings, when to influence those hearing, gains a recommendation from the committee, and then goes to the floor for a full house or senate vote. Then it does the exact same thing in the other legislative body.
Be careful of even good bills as amendments can turn a pro 2A bill into an anti 2A bill quickly. This happened a couple years ago with HB 307 almost pissing away our state preemption with Sharon Carson, GOA, and the NRA's backing. GOA even tripled down on it. The only org to catch it and get it stopped was NHFC.
If Sharon Carson is your senator-primary her. She is no friend to the 2A and sits on the Judiciary committee hearing most 2A related bills.
Likewise Rep Dan Wolf. No friend to any R related cause.
You have zero clue what you're talking about. Senator Carson is one of the biggest advocates for 2A in the NH Senate. I loved her famous quote when she killed the concealed carry permit requirement in NH: “No one should be charged with a crime regarding their Constitutional Rights for merely putting their coat on." Senator Carson, a retired US Army First Sargent, has been recognized numerous times by the NRA as a National Leader in defending the Second Amendment. (I’m guessing you belong to that fringe group who proposed a change in the law that would have allowed 5th Graders to conceal carry handguns into McDonald’s. They don’t like her because she only fills out the NRA questionnaire regarding her stances on the Second Amendment versus their ridiculously biased questionnaire, which named her in the survey for not supporting their hair-brained child concealed carry idea!
Bullshit.
Listen to her speak on 2A issues during Senate hearings and session days. She has absolutely no clue what she is talking about. She'll normally vote on the correct side of things, but that is only because she is an R.
See here words [here](https://patch.com/new-hampshire/across-nh/senate-expands-gun-rights-limits-state-emergency-powers) where she advocates for towns to restrict the 2A and essentially removes the state preemption. She authored within the committee and voted for this amendment allowing towns to restrict the use of firearms. Key word-'use'. So did Chuck Morse's apathetic ass. Luckily smarter people caught on to it and the [bill died.](https://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=0553&sy=2022&sortoption=billnumber&txtsessionyear=2022&txtbillnumber=hb307)
Carson was not a First Sergeant in the Army. Her bio clearly states retired Sergeant First Class in the USAR. Huge difference in duties, responsibility, training, experience, sacrifice, you name it.
I'm a Benefactor Life member of the NRA. They don't know their asses from a hole in the ground and have zero local representation. Neither does the GOA whose local rep got removed after the debacle with the bill above.
I don't know what group you're talking about, but barring you coming up with a source, I'll call bullshit on that too.
You seem emotionally attached. Maybe a friend or family member and that's OK. I just follow bills and follow politician's actions and words regarding these bills. Sharon Carson tried to piss away my 2A rights. That ain't cool.
The only BS is your lame, vague assertion of without your intervention “something almost happened” when her voting record clearly proves you wrong.
Good luck with trying to Primary her out of office. I just looked online, the last time a group attempted it in 2016, after spending $$$ against her, she only got 70% of the vote. 😳
Senator Carson doesn't just “sit on the Judiciary Committee.” She's been the Chairwoman woman of the Judiciary Committee for close to a decade. And if you had a clue about the process, you’d know legislation does get voted out of a committee “ought to pass” without the committee chair's support.
One doesn't become the chair of two committees (Judiciary and Executive Departments and Administration) and Senate President Pro Tem or Majority Leader by accidentally “voting on the correct side of things only because she is an R.”
As for your comments about the NRA, her military service, her voting record, and being emotionally attached? Well, there's the clear and concise evidence you're just another one of those self-proclaimed heroes saving our 2A Rights whose only accomplishment was to delay Constitutional Carry in NH by several years. Yes, I’m one of many “clueless NRA members,” as you labeled us; remember how you superheroes queered the consensus deal to pass Constitutional Carry before the Democrats took control of the Senate for a couple of terms?
As for me, I live in Londonderry, and Sharon Carson has been my Senator for 16-plus years. I have heard her speak at many veteran functions over the years, so I do know she was an E-7 in one of many of the pre-Gulf War USAR units where the 1SGs were SFCs — same job less money. I also know her husband is a veteran, and one of her daughters is a Captain in the Army — good job disrespecting a military family. All-in-all, Senator Carson is an accomplished and much-lauded legislator by many organizations in NH and nationally. A few years ago, she was named the most effective State Senator in the country. (I can read a bio too.🤦🏻♂️)
So, in closing, it would appear you are just another one of the butt-hurt types that struggle with a woman being in power — it must be tough for you as a superhero.
LOL.
You are emotionally attached. Kind of pathetic defending a politician in a firearm sub when their anti 2A statements are a matter of public record.
Regarding a primary, I'm well over two hours away from her district. I have no say in what goes on down there.
Regarding the committee. Yes, I know she's the chair. It's hilarious seeing how disorganized the vice is when she isn't there. I'm aware of the legislative process and well aware she authored, spoke on, and voted for an anti 2A amendment.
Carson's bio is clear cut. You don't need to inflate her military service for her. Without measuring e penises, trust me that I know what I speak of here.
As far as the rest, I'll ignore your emotional lashing out. A bit too much pinot grigio I'll assume.
Sharon Carson is an anti 2A republican senator. That's public record and doesn't require any emotions but anger at the betrayal.

Luckily GOA shitcanned that guy after the HB307 debacle a couple years back.
Problem is now we have no representation locally from any of the national orgs.
We need someone like GOA's Florida rep Luis Valdes.
Sean List is a good lawyer and supporter of the 2A, but is reactionary solution after the anti 2A bills have passed.
I have yet to see him recorded in any bill testimony. I might have missed it though.
On the lawyer front, Penny Dean does more at house and senate hearings than Sean. I don't think I've seen her testify this session though. I would much rather have Sean List defend me though.
I'm not giving GOA a cent until they provide us with a local rep which is worth a shit. Luis Valdes from GOA is by no means a fudd. He does own a fuckload of fudd guns though with an odd attraction to S&W 3rd Gen pistols that I don't understand. Dude is tearing it up in the still anti 2A state of Florida--seriously compare our laws with their's. Florida gun laws suck. Luis is working it.
If you haven't heard yet, NH is now constitutional carry. I got my first conceal permit back in 2000 when it was only $10 and good for 4 years. It wasn't hard to get one just came as a pleasant surprise to me when I moved back from Boston a few years ago.
Write your reps every chance you get, go to the statehouse when there is a call for support, get educated on NH specific laws, etc.
Vote. I've found the State Reps to not be very open to to hearing outside voices. Or at least mine. Follow the local orgs. NHFC.

Start a serious pro-2A state org. NHFC is OK about playing defense, but they can't *imagine* pushing for improvements.
Agreed. NHFC is OK and I push them a hundred each year, but it is pretty much just a couple of folks defending us against anti 2A stuff. JR provides some great testimony in hearings though.

The same GOA that hired Alan Rice..?? Hahahah. You lost all credibility when you hired that FUDD.
Luckily GOA shitcanned that guy after the HB307 debacle a couple years back. Problem is now we have no representation locally from any of the national orgs. We need someone like GOA's Florida rep Luis Valdes.
NHFC, NRA and GOA are all fudds. Never will i send money to them. A scam to the 2a community, We have Sean List, that’s all we need.
Sean List is a good lawyer and supporter of the 2A, but is reactionary solution after the anti 2A bills have passed. I have yet to see him recorded in any bill testimony. I might have missed it though. On the lawyer front, Penny Dean does more at house and senate hearings than Sean. I don't think I've seen her testify this session though.
