Should the police prevent abuse, neglect, or exploitation of the elderly? HB 696 is a bill designed to do just that. But should gun owners panic? Here is what HB 696 actually says, with no hype, no hyperbole, and no “sky is falling” drama.
From Pro-Gun NH, an example of someone who would be in jail if it wasn’t for the passage of the “Stand Your Ground” law simply for trying to protect his family member in a public space. I keep hearing that we are “not to worry – this is not a problem in NH” with the underlying whisper message of “not to worry – NH prosecutors WILL do the right thing”. Then we here in NH saw what happened to Ward Bird with “a willing liberal prosecutor, Robin Gordon“. And now, a second time (emphasis mine, reformatted):
After two days of trial and jury deliberation in Hillsborough County Superior Court South, a verdict of not guilty was rendered in the case of State v Craig Moses.

Democrats and other regressives (not “progressives”; these people have nothing to do with “progress”) love to call names and tell lies about the Free State Project and its participants. That’s because Freestaters tend to revere the U.S Constitution and the Bill of Rights (which are inconveniences to regressives, who are statists to the core).
A demonstration of why the regressives hate Freestaters so much was just given when Evan Nappen, a lawyer, author, and 2nd Amendment expert—as well as Free State Project participant who moved to New Hampshire with his family several years ago—was called on an emergency basis Saturday night from New Jersey as a family was subjected to a late-night home invasion conducted by…
You have to love former USMC First Sergeant Al Baldasaro (and now NH State Representative)! See problem – go straight ahead. Doesn’t care whose delicate liberal insensibilities get offended (and resulting loud crying) in the process.
