Milford Selectman Look to Ban Firearms on Town Property

Milford NHFrom The New Media Militia and Dave Ridley, a story about how the town of Milford has asked the police department to draft rules for prohibiting particular types of firearm use on the Brox Property.

(Milford) Chris Drescher, a town attorney, had suggested designating Brox a compact area, but that would mean no hunting, including bow hunting, except with individual approval, a restriction that the board doesn’t like.

Viola and Capt. Craig Frye went to the board last month to request a firearms restriction at Brox, saying there is no ordinance to back them up when they try to get shooters to leave the area.

Selectman Gary Daniels observed that state law allowing firearms on town property may trump any local rule, but it sounds as if Milford is ready for any legal challenge, should one arise.
