Supposedly the "Live free of Die" state but yet they still haven't legalized marijuana.

Irresponsibly lax gun laws.

Lots of larpers in NH who have this fantasy that they're Ben Franklin because they go to town meetings and try to defund every aspect of the government and live off the grid in the woods. Talk about cringey.

Another CON: We are located within driving distance of New York and Connecticut.

If you don't like our laws and customs you have the freedom to avoid our state.

I moved here in 2012 from Massachusetts and I embrace New Hampshire as it was then. I know I will never be considered native but the only things I oppose are tax increases, new regulations and new laws proposed at the request of any other out of state transplants.

As Nonesuch indicated, read HB2, #38 from last year. It is being phased out and goes away in 27.

And they do like to have chickens and goats roaming around their property.

Plus a rooster or two. The dumb type of rooster that cannot tell time.

Wait until they learn that while they don't have a HOA, town zoning (or even the C&C's on their deed) includes a "no roosters" clause.
