As a Massachusetts resident, I used to love the NH live free or die mentality. (can't buy the motor cycle law different discussion) But I believe the laws regarding people under 12 is a good one. As captain of my little boat I will absolutely make certain that everyone who can not swim wear a life preserver. that would include people between 12- 18 and senior citizens and everyone in between.. I agree that "we" need to protect these people however, The "we" that need to protect people are not the police or the lawmakers of this state.... the "we" are the captains of our little boats who use common sense and intelligence!! I believe it is time to honestly say that it is not the state... but it is "us" who have to take safety to the next level!!!
