Infidel~ Copy the legislation and ask your legislator to submit the bill. Should pass in NH no problem.

It should pass now that the (R) control everything and can override a veto from the egg head. Their first step as I understand it is to pass a stand your ground law or some kind of castle law. After that I have written them asking them to pass the bill that was vetoed last year. It was a bill that would have a allowed people to record peace officers while preforming their dutys.I will attach this along with another e-mail I will be sending.
