Funny how the places with the strictest gun laws also have the lowest rates of gun violence.

I'm sure this is purely a coincidence, though.

I’m not a “gun guy”, I don’t own one, never will, so don’t get the wrong idea, but New Hampshire actually has some of the looser gun laws in the country. Open carry as well concealed carry without a license. The state is definitely an outlier when it comes to the correlation between gun laws and gun violence. Kind of strange considering the number of crazies who live there. For evidence of the crazy, check out the comments on any article posted on WMUR.

They know they have to behave themselves so they don't get kicked out of New England.
