If guns are your thing and begging (and paying) for permission to exercise a basic natural and constitutional right are not, there is good news for you. New Hampshire is on course to become the fifth state to do away with pistol “permits.”

• Medical marijuana (HB442): passed, with a veto-proof majority
• Permitting audio/video recording of police (HB145): passed
• No permit required for concealed carrying (HB330): passed
• Removing compulsory school attendance (HB542): passed
• Disallow students to vote at their college towns (HB176): failed
• Death with dignity (HB513, sponsored by Chuck Weed): failed

• Sam Hawkes voted against HB513, death with dignity.
