Commissioners vote to consult Fish and Game about hunting near jail and nursing home
Summary
After commissioners raised concerns about people walking with loaded firearms near the county jail and nursing home property, the board voted to consult the state Fish and Game department about signage and safety measures.
Carroll County commissioners voted Oct. 6 to consult the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department about hunting and signage near county facilities after a commissioner reported sightings of people walking past the jail with firearms.
A commissioner said residents had reported individuals carrying guns near the jail fence line and expressed concern for residents and staff given the proximity to buildings. The motion directed staff and the executive director to consult with Fish and Game on options such as no-hunting signage or other measures to improve safety and avoid conflicts with county facilities. The motion passed on a voice vote; at least one commissioner registered dissent during the roll call discussion.
Staff were instructed to follow up with Fish and Game and return with recommendations.
