So the Live Free or Die state of New Hampshire didnt make the top ten for personal freedom?
I'm not sure of this state motto applies any longer. This state went for Obama for crying out loud !!
Massachusetts ( which is in the WORST top 10 list ) is NH's neighbor and a lot of Bay State residents have been moving to NH through the years. Hence I am not surprised that NH has been slowly INFECTED with the liberal bug. The state motto is simply decorative nowadays. It isn't true any longer.

RI doesn’t register firearms,nor require a permit to keep handguns at home or at your business.
They have no prohibited weapons,although it can be difficult to get a concealed carry permit.
I’m not sure why RI is on the list.
They don’t even have a voter ID law,so illegal aliens can vote whenever they want.
It’s sure a weird state.

Thanks, Ghost.
Nice to see you again.
I e-mailed the link to that study to my State Senator.
The results for Ohio are disturbing.

A month ago, I had the map this data is taken from as my desktop background. I had it side by side the election results by party. Uncanny that the rmore restricted the state, the more liberal they voted.

Im surprised that NH, the Live free or die state with no income tax is not on the list of best states for personal freedom. It has become very Massachusettsified.
