Amen to that!
What really separates New Hampshire from all of the other "northern" or New England states is that NH is still an unapologetically conservative stronghold in most places. Small government and less restriction of personal freedoms is the rule -- not the exception. Add the fact that there is no income tax AND no sales tax, and a guy can actually afford to go out and but a gun every once in a while, too.
Of course, things have been changing a bit as all of the "Massholes" have moved north in droves (to escape their own liberal utopia), but it is still as good as you are ever likely to do north of the Mason-Dixon. (Vermont may sound good, based upon their tolerance of the 2nd Amendment, but the overwhelming political tone there is about 180 degrees out from the average guy on this board.)
Does anyone know of another state with the guts to put something like "LIVE FREE OR DIE" on their license plates??
