New Hampshire has constitutional carry. The Left likes to call that sort of landscape The Wild West™. Blood in the streets, human sacrifice, cats and dogs, living together, mass hysteria. But it never happens.
Year after year, the Democrats ply their false narratives in pursuit of their disarmament agenda, and year after year, New Hampshire remains one of the safest states in the nation.
2020 was no different for the Granite State despite the increase in violence (peaceful protests) and chaos instigated by Democrats in large urban areas that drove murder rates nationally to their highest rate in over 25 years.
New Hampshire had the fewest murders per capita in the US and the second-lowest rate for all violent crime (source).

Maine and Vermont, also constitutional carry states, are in the top three (again), though we expect liberal influences to undermine second amendment protections soon. They can’t help themselves.
The edges are already fraying in Vermont and Maine while Dems in New Hampshire continue to tug at the fabric of liberty. If they are successful, you’ll see this advantage begin to dwindle. It is the nature of progressive politics.
Democrats do, after all, destroy everything they touch.
