This broadens participation in NH outdoors sports for those who want to avoid problems associated with firearm ownership.

Simon BerrioOpposeDalton, NHfor MyselfFeb 5, 2025

Fully oppose as written as it adds restrictions to air rifles and equates them to firearms. So much for Little Johnny learning on a Tractor Supply purchased BB gun in the basement or back yard before going to the range for some time on a .22LR. A thoroughly anti 2A bill trying to slide its nose under the tent as a pro hunting bill. This bill also provides an easy ramp for restrictions to firearms laws with it's inaccurate definition of loaded per NH RSA.
