The people of this country have shown they are fed up, they’ve had enough of politicians’ lies and deceitful ways. But never has a NH politician shown just how bad it is before Senator David Pierce entered the competition to become the nation’s worst offender.
Senate Bill 336 is a piece of legislation written to end nearly 100 years of discriminatory practices over who can and cannot wear a coat or a blouse over a pistol or revolver. While it is already legal in NH to carry a firearm that everyone can see, if it’s cold or if a lady prefers to hide her accessory, she needs permission, she needs to be found “suitable” by her local authority, typically the police chief.
But here’s the rub: for nearly 100 years, the definition of “suitable” has been in eye of the beholder and the hands of those who holds the power – the local police chief.
The press has been more than willing these days to publish the realities faced by women when confronted by those who see police powers as something to enhance their appeal to the opposite sex or see it as reason to abuse the trust of the community. We have all read the story of the NH police chief who had women come in to take nude, or partially nude, photos in exchange for reduced charges, or for making charges – like DUI – disappear altogether. We have read the story of a teen girl who joined the Police Explorer program only to be used for oral sex, an example – one might presume – of what the police officer saw as the responsibilities of female officers. We see a NH chief indicted for false witness given, we are told, to help hide an improper affair happening and another NH chief who abused a female subordinate after an extramarital affair didn’t go as planned
The people described above want you to believe they can make a judgment about your “suitability” and Senator Pierce agrees.

Many of you are aware that, for many years, I have been working diligently on becoming Queen of the Universe. During my reign, it was my plan to use my newly acquired powers – for the most part, anyway – for good instead of evil. Recently, I was beginning to fear that despite all that wishin’ and hopin’, it was not meant to be; however, rumors have it that I have, in fact, been crowned AND that my first act as Queen was to deny 2nd Amendment Rights to persons in possession of medical marijuana cards.
