MACDONALD: Blaming the Londonderry Fish and Game Club was Easy, Until It Wasn’t.

February 21, 2026February 21, 2026 Steve MacDonald

As a good friend and blogging peer of Rick Olson, the President of the Londonderry Fish and Game Club [LFGC], I have long been aware of the false accusations against them and the defamation suit they filed in response. Some local Litchfield residents who bought a home near a gun club that had been there … Read more

GrokMeetup – #1!!!! TODAY, 2pm, Area 23 Pub in Concord NH

September 26, 2018August 25, 2018 Skip

Yup, it’s time for our first Grokster / Readers Meetup. The schedule is set – we will be holding it at the Area 23 Pub in Concord, NH. I visited it yesterday – not the largest of places but certainly a relaxed area for us all to meet and greet. Several Groksters have already said they’ll be attending so I’m hoping y’all will join us. It will be, as you all told me, “lightly agenda’d”. $5 cover charge and we’ll get some light snacks out for you (liquids to imbibe will be on you. Their root beer is to die for but remember, its a pub (obligatory: drink responsibly). Let us know if you’re planning on attending so I know how much to order.

A goodly number of Groksters are planning on attending. I am really looking forward to it – I’ve met some of you over the years but

Our own Miss Susan gives entitled Hahvad kids an #IOPening

These Harvard kids got the lesson of their life in the Heartland

…Nearly all of them agreed that they didn’t know what life was like outside the coastal cities and states. Only one student, Henna Hundal, 20, had grown up in a rural environment — an almond farm in Turlock, Calif., — while Kessler, a computer-science major, was the only member of the class who had ever fired a gun. The students ranged in age from 19 to 21, with an equal number of girls and boys and a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. The majority of them hailed from cities and suburbs in blue states along the East and West coasts. One was from Wales.

They admitted they had been fed a steady diet of stereotypes about small towns and their folk: “backwards,” “no longer useful,” “un- or under-educated,” “angry and filled with a trace of bigotry” were all phrases that came up.

…Two weeks later in Londonderry, NH, the students visited a gun range at [the Londonderry]Fish and Game Club and saw something else they didn’t expect — 40 women of all ages, shapes and colors pointing pistols at a target.

I wish I could have been there.

The Culture of Complainers and Whiners

September 26, 2018April 30, 2013 Rick Olson

Complainers change their complaints, but they never reduce the amount of time spent in complaining. —Mason Cooley

The Londonderry Fish & Game Club, Inc. was established in 1951 and has been in its present location in Londonderry since 1973. Aside from LFGC’s primary mission, the club has sought to be good community stewards in the capacity that it can. For example, the club has been opened up to Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church and other civic groups, including Kiwanis of Manchester where they conduct their annual “Fish with a Child” day on Jim Cates pond at the club. LFGC has always opened its doors and its facilities to those organizations that don’t have principles counter to LFGC’s mission or bylaws.

GrokTV: NRA President David Keene at the Londonderry Fish & Game

September 26, 2018October 21, 2012 Skip

Last night, NRA President David Keene (formerly head of the American Conservative Union that puts on CPAC) spoke at the Londonderry Fish and Game Club last night. An appropriate place, as all of the members of the LFGC are NRA members, that David Keene spoke of the NRA mission as well as to the recent remarks … Read more

Have I got a political / gun invite for Kate Miller – an NRA event here in NH!

September 26, 2018October 13, 2012 Skip

Previously I had chided Kate Miller, a Democrat from Meredith running for the NH House, for kvetching about Republicans and jobs all the while buying her campaign signs from a firm in Massachusetts. At the very end of the post, I linked a comment she made at this post at Politico that plainly told us how she felt about firearms (emphasis mine, reformatted for bloggishness):

He should reopen the debate on assault weapons and commit to leading the way toward their banishment from the hands of ordinary citizens. Here in New Hampshire, our Republican-controlled legislature has just allowed the public and elected officials alike to carry weapons in our state House, on the House floor and in the public gallery. At least one elected official carries a Glock, in fact a pink one, and many have asserted that our state House is now safer. One nine-year-old’s death is one too many. School districts across New Hampshire are considering shelving the state House visits by 4th graders that have been part of the curriculum for decades rather than risk the children getting caught in state House cross fire. President Obama can help us move forward, here in New Hampshire and across the country, by leading the way toward the banishment of these heinous weapons.

Right…”state House cross fire.” Fits in well with her running mate, Lisa DiMartino….but I digress. I got this in the email in-box:

On Friday, October 19, 2012, NRA National President David A. Keene will be at the Londonderry Fish & Game Club to greet fellow NRA Members and talk about the up and coming elections and NRA’s role in supporting candidates that are pro-second amendment.

I am also told there is a possibility that Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre may make an appearance, but there has been no hard commitment on that aspect of Mr. Keene’s visit.

Despite Laws, Londonderry Council Postures Against LFGC

September 26, 2018September 21, 2012 Rick Olson

“”My door is always open-bring me your problems.” This is guaranteed to turn on every whiner, lackey and neurotic on the property.” —Robert F. Six

Demagoguery. Town officials told the Derry News that Town officials, police officials, Fish and Game Club members, and the public will be invited to a demonstration at the shooting range, to determine the effects that gunfire has on residents and golfers.

That has to be about the dumbest thing I have ever read. The obvious target are two ranges in question: The Londonderry Police Range, constructed in 2008; and the Londonderry Fish & Game Club Ranges, in existence for over 40 years.

All of this hullabaloo over range noise and never once has the ongoing conversation taken into account the miles of power line corridors frequently used for all sorts of activities such as OHRV use, Hiking, Hunting and yes, target shooting. Moreover, the 900-acre parcel also known as the Musquash Conservation Land, is frequented by those desiring to shoot.

Wal-Mart: Making Stuff Up as We Merrily Go Along

September 26, 2018July 16, 2012 Rick Olson

“Wal-mart… do they like make walls there?” —Paris Hilton

I truly dislike Walmart. Back in April, I detailed in my column why Wal-Mart is anti-gun, “but it’s a secret.” Having gone to Wal-Mart for some tires, I felt myself lectured and admonished by a technician over the mere presence of an unloaded firearm present in my vehicle. I told the Wal-Mart lackey in no uncertain terms that he was full of crap and that he was making stuff up.
