Looking at a house in Balmoral - are gunshot sounds the norm in that area?

Don't live anywhere near any gun club. And I hear guns going off just about every week. Random days.

Welcome to Live Free or die.

The Ward Bird case became a rallying point.

Pretty much anywhere rural in NH, or even semi rural, you are likely to hear gunfire. Unlike Oakland, where I was once at a BBQ, the gunfire isn't usually aimed at people. Almost never. Safer than most of Europe. I live within a mile of UNH and I hear gunfire every weekend. I have at least one neighbor who seems to be working on his rapid fire shooting. Unless you hear bullets I wouldn't worry. If it's a whizzing sound then it's handgun, whistling is probably a rifled slug, and a hard crack is rifle fire.

She wasn't afraid of being hit... she didn't want the constant noise.

Bottom line, if you're within ear shot of a gun range and you want quiet, look elsewhere!

Yes! “live free or die” is what NH is (and should be) about.
My little town has constant gun fire (FFL dealer nearby) and neighbors exercising their right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”
If anything is annoying it’s the occasional boom of tannerite play, especially at late night hours! 🤪

No one actually believes the motto.
Even politicians that espouse it, on certain subjects run away from it.

Its inherent in human nature.
You would need to be not human to believe it.

For instance, during its founding... Jews and Catholics in NH could pay taxes, but not vote or hold office. Yet the slogan of the time was ''No taxation without representation''.

Then we came to ''Local Control'', that went out the window when some local subdivisions didn't follow the will of others.

With ''Live Free or Die''; it is just a matter of hitting the right refrain... maybe men that want to dress as women and use women's restrooms... and out the door goes the ''Live Free'' part.

Or the child that doesn't want to listen to their parents/guardians because they were born ''free and independent''.

When a person is challenged to ''Live Free or Die''; they also very seldom it seems choose the ''Die'' part.

All the NH vacation commercials leave out the "or die" phrase now.
Obviously, no one chooses to die but people that protect our country face that result on a daily basis.

Because they hope the motto will bring the tourists.
It reminds me of when the State was removing the French from some of our highway signs because our official State language is English. The fear of it hurting tourism from Quebec became an issue.

But even supporting an oath to the US Constitution has become episodic...
SCOTUS ruled against Texas, but the NG are trying to follow orders.

We will see the same thing in NH. The SWEPT has been declared by our courts to be an unconstitutional tax. We shouldn't be paying it in June... but who among us is going to risk the interest and possible loss of property?
They certainly are not going to be willing to ''die'' over the issue.

I haven't seen veteran's marching is support of men using women's bathrooms. Maybe you can start one?

Wow! Just wow… what a odd thing to say…

Stick to lumber John…

[John Mercier]

It about someone's freedom.

They want to ''Live Free''.
Ask those doing it if it is a freedom issue? Then ask those that claim that ''Live Free'' is an absolute if they will fight for others' perception of freedom?

There are literally thousands of instances in our society that freedom has to be deterred for the benefit of society; hence NH Part First Article 3.

Even the overnight mooring was underwritten partially by the ''Live Free'' concept... that didn't require risking a life or even having to pay a tax... just a voice.

Live Free or Die was coined long before gender issues came to play. If you think that’s what it’s about I think you have bumped your head on too many 2x4’s…

I know the history of it. I did attend and pay attention in the second grade.

It is the concept of it. If it only meant freedoms that existed prior then it really has no role in present society.

NH Part First Article 3 speaks of surrendering some of our natural rights (freedom). So we know that living freely of our own accord is not an absolute and has not been since the founding of NH.

And it isn't just gender issues... there are literally dozens.

I could have easily picked growing marijuana in your yard or mooring your boat overnight on the lake.
