Concord, NH –-(Ammoland.com)- Gov Hassan justifies her veto of SB 116, Constitutional Carry bill, by quoting New Hampshire’s Racist and Homophobic former Governor Thomson.
Governor Maggie Hassan has vetoed SB 116, repudiating the 1974 amendment to the NH Constitution guaranteeing that “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by this state on account of race, creed, color, sex or national origin.”
Her veto message quotes former Governor Mel Thomson who after visiting South Africa in 1978, praised the white-minority government and defended its apartheid policy. Thomson also openly threatened to veto all funding for the University of New Hampshire after the Gay Students Organization held a dance and performed a play on campus.
SB 116 would have made optional NH’s license requirement to discreetly carry a firearm loaded outside of one’s home The law would have replaced the wholly subjective discretion given to local law enforcement to decide whether any NH citizen is a “suitable” person – allowing for the determination to be based on their ethnicity, race, gender, union or political affiliation – with one based on federal firearm statutes.
Governor Hassan compounds the existing statutory discrimination stating “Our permitting system gives an important oversight role to local law enforcement, while allowing for appeals through appropriate channels”, which means only those with financial means will have the ability to challenge any denial of the constitutional right.
New Hampshire’s gun law has its roots in racism and Ku Klux Klan.
ProGunNew Hampshire calls on the legislature to end more than 100 years of discrimination in New Hampshire and override Governor Hassan’s veto. New Hampshire is better than this!

Tex, leave a light on for me!!! I’ll be on my way soon! I can’t stand this state I’m in. There is no reason I can think of not to have a national carry license. I’m sure the government could use it as a money maker and everyone would be happy. I also agree with whoever wrote they keep passing laws for law abiding citizens, but it’s not us that are using the firearm in an illegal manor. Our forefathers would be so disappointed if they were alive to see this bullshit going on!
It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool then to speak out and remove all doubt——–

Regardless of whatever legislation that is, or is not passed in N.H., you can be assured that it will have no effect whatsoever on the availability and/or use of firearms by criminals. Laws only affect “law-abiding” citizens and are of zero concern to criminals. Which says quite a bit about the potential effectiveness of this or any other archaic gun laws. Keep making it harder for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves from the criminal element. But just don’t plan on having a long political career, because law-abiding citizens have had enough of this type of backwards nonsense.
And I am sure that you will be voting for Hillary.
Get ready for the next strategy by the gun control cretins. Here in Seattle one of the communists on the council proposed an ordinance to tax every firearm sale $25 and place a % tax on the sale of ammo. Obviously – and the idiot admits – it will be kicked by the courts because WA statutes precluded any city/county from enacting more stringent law than the state laws – yet still they keep trying and it results in expensive legal bills and tying u[p the courts with lawsuits merely because these left-wing cretins with coprilite for brains continue to… Read more »
Hey, Meldrim Thomson wanted the government to give him tactical nukes for his national guard troops to protect NH from the progressive, communist hoards across the border to the south. Sounds like my kind of governor.
