They said they were, the Grafton County Superior Court now says they’re not.
Don’t you worry… we’re not close to being done with them on self-defense freedom for PUBLICLY FUNDED AND TAX EXEMPT university students.
Notice how Judge Vaughn italicizes “responsible” citizens… to emphasize that Tommy Mozingo and I are not. (We’ve never been convicted of a single criminal offense.)
I’d say protesting the government in favor of natural and constitution rights is the only responsible thing to do when the government illegaly infringes on those rights.
Adam Kokesh of Adam vs. The Man and I went to the Hudson, NH Police Department to file a criminal complaint against former House Speaker and presidental candidate Newt Gingrich’s security agent who assaulted Adam earlier the previous day. When we were there, Adam was filming, and was threatened with arrest.
I told the shift commander that he was absolutely incorrect about New Hampshire law due to a 1st Circuit Court of Appeals decision that denied qualified immunity to Boston, MA Police for making a similar arrest.
It is okay to be wrong… every human is wrong about stuff all the time. It does take, however, a big man to admit that he was wrong, and Lieuteant Dyac of the Hudson, NH Police proved to be a big man. Of course, it would have been preferred that he knew the law ahead of time, but we all know that ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse for US, but IS for state agents.
I am going to write a letter to Hudson, NH Police Chief Jason Lavoie praising his commander for his willingness to admit a mistake. I’d respectfully ask you all either do the same or call to quickly ask that the Chief be told that his Lieutenant is a step above many law enforcers we’ve encountered being wrong about the law. By taking the time to research the issue before taking action, Lieuteant Dyac saved his department from civil liability. He clearly is an asset to that agency.
YouTube commenters seem to agree:
These guys are good Officers, it’s obvious? they genuinely care about people and the constitution and they where very professional. Good on them.

I witnessed first-hand a member of former House Speaker and Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich’s private security detail unjustifiably (under NH law) assault Adam vs. The Man‘s Adam Kokesh. Video of it can be found in Ian Freeman’s blog here.
Shall we post his picture everywhere so we can let the world know who he is and hope that someone can identify him?
If no one can recognize him, don’t worry, the Hudson, NH Police will be identifying him shortly for us. Stay tuned to Adam’s show for the video about that. I’ll even help conduct the background investigation into who this criminal is.
In a press release today titled “No Guns in Classrooms or Dorms“, Governor John Lynch returns to the same fear mongering tactics he and high-ranking police administrators used throughout the state when they vehemently opposed the modification to the deadly force law which now doesn’t require you to turn and run when your life is in jeopardy.
Oh, the New Hampshire General Court utterly ignored the Governor and his law enforcement contingent and passed that bill. There hasn’t been any random killings in the street like they tried to have you believe, either.
Well done NH House of Representatives and NH Senate. Let’s see you do it again!
From today’s most recent tirade:
CONCORD – Law enforcement and higher education officials from across New Hampshire today called on the House to reject a bill that would allow guns in college classrooms, dorms, libraries and across public higher education campuses. House bill 334 is one of three the House could possibly take action on as early tomorrow that will severely weaken New Hampshire’s decades-old gun laws and potentially put public safety at risk.
Wrong, politicians like you and your law enforcement/USNH cadre put public safety at risk, Governor Lynch. All of these regulations only hurt the people who would never hurt someone in the first place. In Utah and Oregon carrying firearms is specifically allowed on campuses like ours. I’ve been waiting for you or the University System of New Hampshire to come up with some examples of how enhancing self-defense freedoms for peaceful people out west has been a disaster of a public policy change. I’ve heard crickets.
Amazing that this simple logic doesn’t get through to these people.
Not that the Governor and his law enforcement supporters care about the oath they took, but Part I Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution says:
“All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.”
I guess by “all persons” it really means “all people except if you are a college student, because if you’re a college student you need to be treated like a child.”
We started a second Chip-in as the first one ended before we intended it to. A small of $5 or $10 will help Tommy and I recoup our costs for the initial phase of the case.
