On January 3, I went to the NH State House Open House to test the new rule that prohibits weapons in certain areas of the building. I was NOT violating the rule, however I was open-carrying something that appeared to be a firearm.
In the hour I was there, I was in the gallery for nearly half an hour. I wanted to walk onto the House floor, but it was blocked off due to performances or various choirs. I also walked around most parts of the State House.

On December 26, 2012 I wanted to extend some holiday cheer to some people who may have otherwise had a bad day, due to a parking ticket from the “Parking Enforcer.”
In roughly 1 hour, I save 14 people from parking tickets, which equates to $70 of “lost revenue” for the City of Keene. For more information on Robin Hooding, visit http://RobinHood.FreeKeene.com
On November 21, 2012 I delivered the following letter to Keene Attorney Tom Millins regarding RSA339:22 relating to the appointment of an Inspector of Petroleum, Naptha & Illuminating Oil.
City Attorney Thomas P. Mullins
City of Keene, NH
Legal Department
3 Washington Street
Keene, NH 03431RE: Demand Letter
Tom Mullins,
We have spoken twice regarding my concerns about the City of Keene being out of compliance with RSA 339:22. When we last spoke you said that I should go to the New Hampshire General Court about this statute, as in your opinion the law was out-dated.
The New Hampshire General Court has had ample opportunity to amend RSA 339:22 since its original enactment in 1873. The General Court being unwilling to repeal the law in question for the last 139-years indicates a stern commitment to safe oil-lamp usage.
I request that you instruct the Keene City Council to comply with RSA 339:22. Failure of the City to swiftly move into compliance with RSA 339:22 will result in my requesting a Writ of Mandamus in the Cheshire County Superior Court.
Please do the right thing and comply with the law.Thank you,
Darryl W. Perry
When I first decided to run for Cheshire County Register of Deeds, I had one goal: unseat a 19-term incumbent. I sought and received endorsements from both libertarians and progressives. After realizing there would not be any candidates forums, I put together an event and invited 27 candidates for various offices – video of that event can be seen here.
After Anna Tilton entered the race, I realized that my chances of winning diminished greatly and I added a second goal: receive more votes than the margin of victory.
I can happily say that both goals were met. The Keene Sentinel reports Anna Tilton won with 17,826 votes (48.2%), Evelyn Hubal 16,239 votes (43.9%) and I got 2,906 votes (7.9%).
I’d like to thank everyone who supported me, donated time and/or money to my campaign and to those who decided to vote for me on election day.
[For a final wrapup – see this post]
We’ll track results as they come… how many pro-liberty politicians will be elected?
First results: Michael Sylvia of Belmont, freestater, elected as State Rep!
Losing with almost 1500 votes and 10% of the vote total: FreeKeene’s own Ian Freeman. Despite a strong outspoken polarizing activist in Keene, running as a Libertarian, and against 2 Democrats, Ian got more votes than many Libertarians elsewhere in the nation tonight.
Other good liberty leading votes reelected: Guy Comtois, Kyle Tasker, Joe Pitre, Stella Tremblay, and the only Rep (in different years) elected as Democrat, Libertarian, and Republican, Rep. Steve Vallaincourt, all back to Concord.
Carol and Dan McGuire reelected!
AntiFreeStater Lee Quandt loses. Too bad, so sad.
Poster Child (according to the Dems, the sign if the FSP will succeed) Rep. Mark Warden reelected!
Laura Jones wins re-election by 134 votes!
Dual Freestater win in Ward 11 in Manchester, Former Rep. Joel Winters relected as Dem, and Emily Sandblade as Republican!
Still waiting on a few results, but it’s getting late. Looks like the ‘Freestater’ number will remain about a dozen by my rough count, despite a massive leftward shift in the overall House. I’ll review and post a longer summary later.
