"What has that got to do with the state licensing his business?"
Having started and operated two businesses in New Hampshire I'm very familiar with their laws. First, individual business are recorded in the individual cities and towns. Unless the business is utilizing a DBA or is incorporated, there is no official state registration. Please make note of the word "registration."
Just as a barber shop, the shop itself doesn't not require registration, however the individual barbers must be licensed. The license is essentially stating that the individual has met basic educational requirements in that profession. This applies to most trades where the profession is performed or applied on an individual be it a physician, nurse, physical therapist, radiology tech, respiratory therapist, massage therapist, barber, hair stylist, or manicurists. Should we eliminate all licensure? Do you object to a driver's license? Should we eliminate licensure for pilots?
The Freeloader, opps, Freestater was looking for his 5 minutes of fame. Let him spend his time in jail where he obviously belongs.
Yes, we should eliminate all licensure. A driver's license has to do with driving on other people's property - you don't need a DL if you only drive on closed racetracks or your own property. And pilots, even licensed, still die when they make mistakes - funny how that piece of paper doesn't even function as a parachute, isn't it?

Somebody from NH should know better.

That "Live Free or Die" on the license plates there is one of the biggest practical jokes that nobody gets I've ever seen.
