“People should go to the store and buy the meat they make there, not kill animals for food.” —PETA
PETA is actively looking into a drone program to surveil hunters. PETA has taken notice of the ever- increasing use of drones for nonmilitary purposes. Drones are now used in fighting wildfires and in search-and-rescue missions. PETA is now planning and forming capital to purchase a drone to spy on hunters. PETA claims it will be
“The number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S.” —That “Happy Warrior”Vice-President Joseph Biden
That is what he said…and without much credibility because we know that vice president Biden is a stupid person. Alas, the “Happy Warrior.” This quote is instructive, because on the one hand, vapid lip service is given to the importance of job creation, yet a legal…constitutional activity…gun manufacturing is under siege in the nation. But Joe and his cadre soldiers on…Perhaps he can join Charlie for a visit to Candy Mountain.
Several states, also home to major manufacturers of firearms, have undertaken legislative initiatives
“Everything is funny, so long as its’ happening to someone else.” —Will Rogers
LONDONDERRY The town conservation committee had their commiseration session tonight relative to target shooting in the Musquash Conservation area. The comments were little more than drama…many of which were likely exaggerated or perhaps grossly untrue. “Shooting at the feet of people on the trail?”
“The know-your-audience philosophy can be a big step down the road to pandering to the audience.” —Edward Tufte Red State’s Erick Erickson reports the Republican Conference is “scared to death” of the tactics of Senators Lee, Cruz and Paul – that it is supposedly putting them in a tough spot. Several of the Republicans are … Read more

Doug Wyllie, Editor-in-Chief at Police One.com conducted a survey of More than 15,000 verified law enforcement professionals. The scope and purpose of this survey was aimed at bringing together the thoughts and opinions of the only professional group devoted to limiting and defeating gun violence as part of their sworn responsibility. Wyllie says, “It’s important to note that 70 percent of respondents are field–level law enforcers — those who are face-to-face in the fight against violent crime on a daily basis — not office-bound, non-sworn administrators or perpetually-campaigning elected officials.
Wylie’s comprehensive 30 question survey afforded police officers across the Nation to share their
“To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.” —Margaret Thatcher From Fox News: Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has died after suffering a stroke at the age of 87. Known as … Read more
“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.” —Joseph Stalin
On Saturday, a Union Leader Editorial entitled, “Grabbing gun makers NH’s big opportunity” posited the question, “So why is the state not aggressively pursuing these companies and the jobs they would bring with them?” The UL editorial named
“Human beings can always be relied upon to exert, with vigor, their God-given right to be stupid.” —Dean Koontz A very special HAT TIP goes out to Rocky Mountain Right today. Now I just love snark in the form of a really sharp stick pointed at Kool-Aid-drinkers in Congress. And RMR delivered today! I thought it … Read more
“If there are twelve clowns in a ring, you can jump in the middle and start reciting Shakespeare, but to the audience, you’ll just be the thirteenth clown” —Adam Walinsky
We’ve talked a great deal these past months about a potential gun grab. What went sleepliy unnoticed was Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy’s legislation introduced in July of last year, a bill to make the sale of ammunition “safer for law-abiding Americans” who are sick and tired of the ease with which criminals can now anonymously stockpile ammunition for [sic] mass murder.
Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. —Friedrich Nietzsche
I am a member of a group on LinkedIn called “Hunting, Fishing and Outdoor Professionals.” In a discussion thread the question was asked, “How do you feel about the banning of AR’s and 30 round clips?”
Nobody defended the current administration’s advocacy for their so-called “assault weapons” ban. In fact all posting are against further measures. It is also important to note that the members of this group do not come strictly from the U.S., as there

Yesterday, four individuals stopped their vehicle along Interstate 93 North, near the 293/93 fork, parked, unloaded some guns and proceeded to engage in target practice along side the highway, along the area of 1793 Bodwell Road. As Police responded, they discovered the targets had been erected in such a manner that the direction of bullets fired was toward the interstate…where cars…with people were traveling North.
“Foolishness is rarely a matter of lack of intelligence or even lack of information.” —John McCarthy How come the demonstrator did not have any rubber scissors? or a tongue depressor?
In July 2011, Guns and Ammo’s Richard Venola wrote this article speaking directly to the topic of those at our Sporting Clubs who make the shooting experience extremely unpleasant at times. With the recent surge and upticks in new memberships, Venola’s observations, wisdom and experience is never needed more than it is today. I pass this along in the wake of all the publicity surrounding the surge in club memberships here in the Granite State. As President of the Londonderry Fish & Game Club, I insist that our leadership read this and learn from it when we install new team members.
Range Safety is vital, but some of it’s enforcers go overboard. —Richard Venola, Field Editor, Intermedia Outdoors
IMAGINE STANDING UP AT THE CLUB WHEN NEW BUSINESS IS ADDRESSED AND HEARING yourself suggesting, “I’d like to propose that we have a less safe range policy.” Older members might pass out.
But some places actually need it. Every shooter is a range safety officer, and for most of us, the habitual practice of safe shooting is as much a part of us as table manners
“There is hardly any mental misery worse than that of having our own serious phrases, our own rooted beliefs, caricatured by a charlatan or a hireling.” —George Eliot
Last Monday, Steve Shurtleff wrote an op-ed in advocacy for his bill to repeal stand your ground. He tells several lies, makes completely inaccurate statements and could not cite one case where the law was used by a criminal to avoid prosecution. Shurtleff writes,
“For more than three decades, New Hampshire law permitted the use of deadly force in
It is the coward who fawns upon those above him. It is the coward who is insolent whenever he dares be so. —Junius
House Bill 135 passed out of the House this week. The bill repeals the stand your ground bill that was passed over the governor’s veto last year. The vote was very close on this bill and would have failed had it not been for some Republicans that, “jumped ship.”
RINO’s have such a checkered evolution. They were first, “Moderates…” Those Rockefeller Republicans…Republicans in Name Only,” commonly referred to as “RINO’s”… Now

Welcome to the UK! no, just kidding…actually, one might have thought this joint was in the UK. This food chain would not serve armed Police Officers.
MANASSAS, VA — Eight police officers were refused service at Buffalo Wild Wings on Wednesday, apparently because they had their weapons displayed. As Reported in the Thin Blue line, Eight Prince William County Police officers on duty, but in plain clothes, walked into the Buffalo Wild Wings located near Wellington Road and Market Street, but were refused service by an employee who
“It is, generally, in the season of prosperity that men discover their real temper, principles, and designs.” —Edmund Burke
The Common Man Family of Restaurants is one of those “rags-to-riches” stories…literally. New Jersey native Alex Ray began in 1971 with a skeptical banker who took the deep breath before granting him a business loan. Today, the common man restaurants employ over 800 people at thirteen locations throughout the state. Alex Ray is considered by many a well-esteemed business professional.
In the past, (Not recently, though) I have eaten at several Common man Restaurants. The food is excellent, the service is

The Union Leader reports today that another Police officer is under arrest. Fired Manchester Police Detective Stephen Coco is charged with two felony counts of conduct after an accident after Bedford Police allege he hit two teens with his police-supplied under cover vehicle and fled the scene. It would also appear that Coco lied when he told investigators he had been home the night of the crash and that no one had used his department issued undercover Nissan Pathfinder that evening.
And certainty followed with sixty-two comments to date, the same usual pejoratives and slurs against the Chief, Police Unions,
