Depends on the type of firearm and if its loaded.



RSA 207:7

You also can't hunt deer or bear on the islands.

Says cocked or loaded.. With a licence to carry you can do both.. No there is no hunting on the islands.. at least until the poulation explodes and the herd is starving to death, do they call in the "enviromentalists".

So, what is the name given to the occasional event that occurs on Long Island?

What's up with the Long Island deer hunt?
An annual archery hunt takes place on Long Island in Moultonboro, N.H. It is open only to bow hunters who have obtained written landowner permission on a form that can be picked up at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord; or individuals can call the Wildlife Division at (603) 271-2461 to request a form by mail. Attached to the forms are the pertinent rules and laws that govern this hunt. The hunt begins the first weekday in October and runs through December 15 except for certain weekends and holidays that are outlined in the rules. Once the landowner forms are completed, permits must be purchased at Fish and Game headquarters starting August 1.

Well first thing.... Long Island isn't really an island, is it. If you drive to your cabin you don't live on an island.

There is special permission for hunting on Long because of the exploding deer population. A number of years ago they had to bring in a sharpshooter to reduce the herd.

A "bridged island" is not a peninsula.

HELLO!!!

And the posts regarding gun rights, hunting on an island and whether Long Island is a real island because there's a bridge have to do with the Diamond Island accident...HOW?

Another Hi-Jacked Thread

[chipj29]

In my opinion, even if there was a gun, who cares? As far as we know, there has been no mention of a gun by anyone involved in the accident. We should not even be discussing it...complete waste of time.

[sa meredith]

So folks...you all realize you gave this gun poster (post #1) exactly what he was looking for. You know that, right?

So you're saying the Zuni's mounted on deck are legal but the twin BMG50's that pop out the side ports are best kept hidden ....

It does not mention if a hand gun is allowed.

All my comments on guns are deleted so further thread jacking is not encouraged.

[KonaChick]

WOW, very enlightening post about guns. I can't imagine why anyone would feel the need to be locked and loaded while boating on Winni...and to think all I carry with me when I'm boating is my sunscreen!!

[VitaBene]

Kona LOL, but if you are permitted to carry you can't leave your weapon in your car (unless gun locked and really secure. It is usually better to take it with you, though I can't imagine carrying on Winni either!!

[chipj29]

The gun discussion in this thread should be dropped IMO. The poster who brought it up has no factual evidence that there was any kind of gun involved in this incident. Move it to a new thread, please!!

[Tank151]

chipj29

I agree! There is NO factual evidence of a gun on this vessel. Let's drop it NOW!

[KonaChick]

I don't like reading the gun comments either and tried to add some levity to the situation with my post but on the same token people have posted lots of things here that haven't been factually based and no one is demanding that those be stopped. What gives? If you think someone is a troll ignore their posts, it's simple! Just my 2 cents......

Whether or not a gun was on the boat makes absolutely no difference in the cause or the outcome of the accident. Why even bring it up?

[Lakegeezer]

Its been two and a half months since the incident occured. What is the typical delay before public information is released? It had a big impact on the lake community, well beyond those involved and their friends, yet there has been little official information made public. At this point, what's wrong with a little speculation, even if absurd. Maybe it will spur the authorities to put out enough information to change the focus of attention to what really happened.

Because of the magnitude of the situation (death involved), I am sure all investigative parties want to ensure they dot their "I's" and crosss their "T's" before releasing anything publicly. I would rather they wait to make sure that whatever is released is based solely on fact and test results, not rumor, speculation, or pending results. Premature conjecture only hurts all parties involved.

Let's all wait patiently and see what the facts are in this devastaing situation.

The only real fact we all know now is that a Father lost his Daughter on Fathers day, and that is tragic...

A year, or more, is not uncommon.

According to the NHMP the case remains active and under review.

Who cares if there was a gun onboard? If there was, good for them.
