"THE HOUSE of Representatives convenes this Wednesday in Concord to adopt deadlines and rules of operation for the next two years. While the rules of the House typically produce little fanfare for the media, one proposed rule change could have a significant effect on safety and security in the State House."
"The Republican majority in the House has proposed removing the current ban on carrying guns and other deadly weapons in the House chamber and the visitors’ gallery."
"Deadly weapons were first prohibited in the House back in 1971 after a fellow lawmaker threatened House Speaker Marshall Cobleigh. Aside from the two-year period that Speaker Bill O’Brien wielded the gavel, the policy has remained in place since." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
