Just another example of a world far far away from "progressive" Hawaii. We have this, and so many examples from other places, to prove from experience in the real world that the vast majority of Hawaii's restrictive (and unconstitutional) laws regarding the right to keep and bear arms serve no "public safety" purpose at all. Rather they are acts of tyranny designed to condition citizens to being subjects and obeying any whimsical diktat our "betters" think will further their agenda. Hopefully when we write and call our legislators we can provide this as one more example to justify our desire to legally act on our civil rights.
This law allows only elected representatives to carry in the House and their office building, but at least they are "allowed" to exercise their rights as they were previously (without any incidents jeopardizing "public safety" much less catastrophic events) before the Democrats took over the house.
On the first day of the 2015 legislative session, the newly Republican-led NH House voted 228 to 149 Wednesday morning to allows state representatives to carry concealed weapons in the House chamber and Legislative Office Building, according to NHPR.
The largely party line vote re-implemented a policy enacted from 2011-2012, when Republicans last held the majority in the lower house. Democrats repealed the policy in 2013, effectively banning concealed weapons inside the chamber. Republicans currently hold a 239 to 160 majority over Democrats in the NH House.

I've been meaning to post a list of the freedoms that abound in the state of New Hampshire ("Constitutional" carry, ALL statewide offices are elected every two years, no mandatory auto insurance or seat belt laws, etc.) but haven't gotten around to it. For those interested in how a state government could actually work (they have lower crime rates, lower auto insurance rates, lower auto accident rates, etc.) you might want to check out the video: 101 Reasons: Liberty Lives in New Hampshire (note the open carrying in a variety of public settings and no one is freaking out, nor does anyone get hurt... duh). Or check out The Free State Project website:
https://freestateproject.org/about/101-reasons-move-new-hampshire If they can do it in New Hampshire, why can't we do it in Hawaii? What's so different about Hawaii? Oh... that's right. Never mind.
