The New Hampshire Executive Council voted to cut the sentence of Ward Bird short, but did not go so far as to issue a pardon. Bird spent 77 days in jail for criminal threatening–for waving or brandishing a handgun at a trespasser on his property back in 2006.
Ward will retain the felony conviction according to WMUR which means Bird will no longer be able to own a gun.
As far as we know the trespasser who was frightened off his property can own all the guns she likes.
