Actually, open carry is your right here in NH. We are dealing with an
issue these days of cops moving from other states who don't pay
attention to the laws here and harass law abiding citizens exercising
their rights in the southern townships of the state, but that is being
addressed.

Many states place hurdles on people defending themselves, for sure. Not
here, though, and not in a growing number of states.

Taking a life in never simple, of course, even one that deserved what
they got.
