CONGRESS MOVES AHEAD TO STEP #2 OF ANTI-GUN BUDGET FRAUD SCHEME S. 391

Congress is moving closer to a showdown over the largest expansion of government in human history -- a bill which would require virtually every single American to buy government-approved health insurance, whether they wanted it or not. And, in the process, that bill would feed all of your most confidential medical data into an enormous database, which could be used to take away your guns.

MINUTEMAN ALERT

SB 132 A CALL TO ARMS!

THURSDAY, April 23, 2009, 11:00 am Legislative Office Building Room 306 (33 N. State Street, Concord, NH 03301)   NH General Court

SB 132 as amended by the Senate would essentially abolish the Fish and Game Commission dissolving the agency and giving the Department of Safety (New Hampshire State Police) jurisdiction and control over Conservation Officers. We have no idea what will happen to license fees and game management practices. This bill proposes to create a 16 member commission with the commission members to be appointed primarily by unelected bureaucrats. This move would also give Fish and Game only one vote of 16 with the other 15 commissioners primarily appointed positions.

Why do you care if you don’t fish or hunt? Well, MANY regulations pertaining to firearms and their use come under Fish and Game Regulations, or have been generated by the Fish and Game Commission as a means of regulating hunting and fishing. Having 15 potentially anti-hunting anti-firearm individuals setting seasons, deciding limits and making other decisions pertaining to New Hampshire Wildlife will be a disaster and a slow death for the New Hampshire way of life. Remember, the sound of shooting is the sound of freedom! GO-NH, Inc. http://gonh.org/

If you cannot attend, Please call and/or email the committee Members and sponsors of the bill Sponsors, and ask them to remove the Fish and Game Commission from this bill.

Docket of SB 132

Ranges safe from nuisance lawsuits pertaining to noise

In a unanimous decision, the New Hampshire Supreme Court affirmed the Rockingham County Superior Court's decision granting summary judgment to  Country Pond Fish and Game Club, Inc., based upon its conclusion that RSA 159-B (Supp. 2008) barred the Sara Reality, LLC's action and was not unconstitutional.

What does this mean in PLAIN ENGLISH??

New Hampshire ranges that were legally operating when anti-firearm town officials enact "noise" ordinances are still protected from noise complaints by state law! This case was watched closely by GO-NH, Inc. One of our Board members is the president of Country Pond and GO-NH attorney Penny Dean had provided legal research and informational packets to the committees considering this bill, and supplied endless research assistance to those guiding and supporting the bill through the arduous process.

New Hampshire ranges can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they are safe from nuisance lawsuit pertaining to noise!

GO-NH Round Up

On Tuesday, March 17, 2009, GO-NH held its annual membership ROUND-UP with great success. Standing room only at the Concord Holiday Inn ballroom! Great speakers such as N. H. State Representative Welch, Mike Langdon with Friends of the NRA and Nationally recognized guest on radio talk shows and NH Pro Firearms Attorney and advocate Penny Dean, (who earned her and J.D. and LL.M. from Franklin Pierce Law Center, her BA in Justice, Morality and the Constitution from James Madison College at Michigan State University.

There were free raffle give-aways from donated prizes (You missed it!  Don’t worry, we will be giving away a great door prize at our monthly meetings the 3rd Tuesday of each month-please join us). We had an open forum with a free exchange of ideas and information on firearms law to help keep law abiding firearms owners out of trouble.

 

For future meetings we plan to show short “movie clips” pertaining to civil rights and firearms ownership and have question and answer periods afterwards.

 

Like all 2^nd amendment organizations in this country right now, GO-NH realizes we are at a crossroads in this country. Many likeminded people say “I'm a member of the NRA”, or other group (which is great, but the NRA works on the national level and GO-NH educates and inform individuals on the State level). GO-NH, Inc. meets monthly. As a member, you vote annually to elect the leadership and have a say in how things get done.  If we are to maintain our freedom loving way of life, YOU must act. Education and information is the key. We want and need more members.  We are all busy, but each letter you send, each call you make MATTERS, and joining us allows us to keep YOU informed as to what is happening in the Live Free or Die State. To join GO-NH via credit card, call 603-225-4664 (225-GO-NH), or print out an application and mail with a check or credit card information, you’ll be glad you did!

GO-NH Provides Grant to Hunt for the Hungry

On Tuesday, October 21, the Gun Owners of New Hampshire Board of Directors provided a $1,000 grant to the New Hampshire Food Bank in support of the Hunt for the Hungry program.

Gun Owners of New Hampshire is partnered with the New Hampshire Food Bank and the Department of Fish & Game in Hunt for the Hungry, which Gun Owners of New Hampshire volunteers helped to establish years ago.

Last year, New Hampshire hunters donated a record-shattering 3,288 pounds of wild game meat, almost triple the 2006 total, providing essential and nutritious protein to the Food Bank's inventory to supply 350 food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters and group homes statewide.

Due to the overwhelming growth of the program and the increasing costs and need in these tough economic times, GO-NH provided the grant to support the expenses of the program, and is working with the Food Bank to help insure its continued success in 2008.

If you wish to donate part or all of your kill to the Food Bank, or volunteer your time or services for the program, please contact fellow hunter and program coordinator Michelle Garron via e-mail or at (603)669-9725 ext. 112.

If you would like to donate money to the cause of fighting hunger in New Hampshire, or become a Freedom From Hunger monthly donor, follow this link.
