House member Gene Chandler is fighting for your rights. According to the Union Leader, the House Rules committee today allowed Rep. Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, to file a bill that would repeal the weapons ban now in place at the State House.

Earlier this month the committee blocked Chandler’s bill, which he proposed after House deadlines had passed. At the time, a joint House-Senate committee that controls uses of state buildings was considering a second vote on the ban. Rules members said until that issue was settled, and the ban was still subject to being overturned, it would be premature to allow the introduction of the bill.
