Wow, are you sure that person in the article is a FEMALE? "It" looks like my grandpa, back when he was still alive. I had an Uncle who looked a lot like "it", too.
New Hampshire is a state that is full of very independent people. Any state who has the motto "Live Free Or Die" has a lot of residents who believe in that motto, and who own a lot of firearms.
Some areas of New Hampshire are liberal strongholds, like the Concord area and any of the communities that are close to the Massachusetts border.
Leftist "Masshole" transplants who like the tax benefits of living in New Hampshire, are a helluva lot bigger problem than 20,000 people who relocated to New Hampshire because they believe in the whole "live free or die" thing.
Imagine living in a state with no sales tax, no state income tax, no seatbelt laws, no motorcycle helmet laws, minimal gun control laws, and people who, for the most part, are rugged individualists.
Sounds pretty damn attractive, at least to those of us who believe in FREEDOM and minimal government intrusion.
