HB195: Adding display of a firearm as an exception to reckless conduct.
New Hampshire Public Radio summary, July 26, 2021: New Hampshire residents and visitors will no longer face reckless conduct charges for displaying a firearm, after
Gov. Chris Sununu signed a bill creating a new exception. House Bill 195 amends the state's reckless conduct statute to clarify that showing off a firearm does not by itself rise to an offense under the statute.
Legislative Outcome: Passed Senate 14-10-0 on May/27/21; Passed House 206-155-39 on Jun/10/21;
Signed by Governor Chris Sununu on Jul/26/21
As a parent of 3 young children, I know that if we can't put our kids on the school bus and know they are safe, nothing else matters. I advocated for a new Public School Infrastructure Fund--which is investing nearly $20 million in state funds directly
to communities in making long overdue infrastructure upgrades and security upgrades. In the end, close to 300 schools across the state will receive security funding grants. Our goal is simple--to make New Hampshire's schools the safest in the nation.

Rated A by the NRA, indicating a pro-gun rights voting record.
Sununu scores A by NRA on pro-gun rights policies
While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America`s foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs.
The following ratings are based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionaire sent to all Congressional candidates; the NRA assigned a letter grade (with A+ being the highest and F being the lowest).
What the Grades Mean:
A+: A legislator with not only an excellent voting record on all critical NRA issues, but who has also made a vigorous effort to promote and defend the Second Amendment.
A: Solidly pro-gun candidate including voting record.
AQ: A pro-gun candidate whose rating is based solely on the NRA-PVF Candidate Questionnaire and who does not have a voting record.
B: A generally pro-gun candidate; may have opposed some pro-gun reform in the past.
C: A candidate with a mixed record or positions on gun related issues, who may oppose some pro-gun positions.
D: An anti-gun candidate who usually supports restrictive gun control legislation. Regardless of public statements, can usually be counted on to vote wrong on key issues.
F: True enemy of gun owners` rights. A consistent anti-gun candidate.
?: Refused to answer the NRA-PVF Candidate Questionnaire, often an indication of indifference, if not outright hostility, to gun owners` rights.
