New Hampshire is tied with Minnesota for the title of healthiest state (scroll down to the 3rd story).
In addition, New Hampshire ranks in the top 10 states for a low rate of motor vehicle deaths, low violent crime rate . . .
Imagine, we have a low rate of deaths from car accidents, despite not having big brother mandating that we wear seatbelts (except for children). Additionally, we have low incidents of violent crime, despite the fact that we have very few gun laws.
Hmm, maybe we're onto something here.
Could it be the reason we have such a low crime rate is because so many of us pack heat? What criminal in their right mind is going to commit a crime if they know that their 'victim' is probably armed and actually knows how to use their firearm? Not too many. And those that do usually end up in prison (assuming they survive the attempt).
