Talking Points for Gov. Sununu
(Call the Governor at
603-271-2121)
1. There are already 12 other states that allow for Constitutional Carry, and they are 12 of the safest states in the country.
Two of the first states to pass Constitutional Carry in this century were Alaska (2003) and Arizona (2010). Both states saw their murder rates decline by 30% in the first five years their permitless carry laws were in effect.
Vermont has been a Constitutional Carry state since the beginning of our republic, and it is frequently ranked as the Safest State in the Union.
2. Over 90% of police nationwide support the principle of concealed carry for law-abiding citizens, according to a PoliceOne.com survey.
And law enforcement in states like Idaho and Maine have stated their public support for Constitutional Carry.
3. New Hampshire already has constitutional carry for Open Carry. That is, one doesn’t need to beg permission to carry a handgun openly. So should a person, who is carrying a gun openly, become a criminal for pulling his shirt or jacket over his weapon? Or should one become a criminal for stepping into a car with a loaded gun openly displayed on his or her hip -- something which is currently illegal today? No, and that's just some of the reasons why we need SB 12 signed into law.
4. Finally, it’s important to remind Gov. Sununu that this bill will not let criminals carry guns. After all, it is illegal for them to do so, even though they already carry guns illegally!
