Letter: Questions about guns and alcohol Published: 2/16/2021 12:03:21 AM Respectfully, Speaker of the House Packard, Members of the Rules Committee, and Clerk of the House Smith: In preparation for the indoor House session presently scheduled for Feb. 24-25 at the NH Sportsplex facility in Bedford and in the spirit of providing a work environment free of hostility while doing the people’s work, please inform the public – many of whom plan to attend the session – if the guns carried by legislators will be loaded. Personally (anybody else?), I also need to know which of the armed legislators will have consumed or will be consuming alcohol. The mixture of loaded guns and alcohol make for a hostile work environment, as I am sure the awareness training that all members of the House who voluntarily attended are well aware.
