As the entire nation is now aware, Tommy Mozingo and I are presently litigating the illegal restrictions on self-defense that the University System of New Hampshire has enacted on students, parents, alumni, and public members. In the Grafton County Superior Court on 12/13/11 USNH argued that it has authority to enact “policies” that are not “regulations” and therefore they are exempt from the State of New Hampshire’s firearm preemption law and perhaps even the New Hampshire Constitution.
I vehemently disagree… and so do members of the New Hampshire General Court.
Under Plymouth State University “policy” there is one man who can allow non-criminals to possess firearms for self-defensive purposes, and that man is Colonel Creig W. Doyle, PSU’s Police Chief. I hereby publicly challenge Colonel Doyle to an Oxford-style debate on the following motion: “Firearms and knives should be allowed on campus for self-defensive purposes.”
I propose using the Intelligence² US Debates modified Oxford rules format and that Colonel Doyle and I both choose two additional people to join our team in debating the motion.
This is a public policy debate worth having… and I would encourage the Colonel to step up and publicly defend the position he enforces.
Oh… and don’t forget to read New Hampshire’s largest newspaper’s response to USNH/PSU’s massive overreaction to our self-defense rights protest.

The following is a letter penned by New Hampshire State Representative JR Hoell addressed to the House Judiciary Committee. The letter is in response to the way Tommy Mozingo and I were treated as we attempted to point out that the University System of New Hampshire was violating the law by maintaining regulations which forbid the peaceful carrying of firearms and knives.
I’ve spoken to several elected officials and Rep. Hoell isn’t the only one who feels this way. Elected state officials will be present at our hearing today in the Grafton County Superior Court at 2:30PM to see how Judge Vaughn respects the state constitution as well as legislative authority.
A big thank you to Rep. Hoell for taking the time to write, publicize, and take on this issue!

BTW – If any of you anti-gun folks are in a classroom with my daughter at PSU, and some yahoo starts shooting, you might want to be behind her, I give the perp 1-3 shots, which may kill some of you folks, before my daughter returns fire.
She’s ex-military, got back from Iraq, and realizes that the rules put in place by the campus officials are illegal, and yes she has carried on campus against the rules with all proper State documents for 2.5 years.
Couple more to add to the list of sayings:
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
I would prefer to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.
Exactly. They’d probably expel her if they found out. Well, maybe not right now… as they realise their gig is almost up.
Actually, I wonder how many people have been disciplined under these illegal regulations. If you have, you should get a lawyer and ask questions about whether or not your rights were violated.

Asks the Union Leader in a poll.
I also added “public university” because the poll question says “college.” This is about public property owned by the taxpayers. Were this private property, we would never be having this debate. A private college has absolutely every right to set their own rules.
I added “peaceful” because that is what this is about. Remember: Criminals always will carry firearms. This is about whether or not YOU should have the right do defend yourselves from them.
Make your voice heard! Go vote here.
The poll is in the bottom right.

It appears that someone with creative flair has launched a new internet meme in the spirit of firearm freedom. Specifically, the meme is in the context of a honorably discharged Army Veteran (who has never been convicted of a criminal offense, ever) who risked his life to serve his country but is now forbidden from carrying a firearm on public property for self-defense.
People like Tommy Mozingo would protect you if a criminal showed up and started hurting people. Enacting a regulation which keeps them from being able to carry a firearm makes you far less safe, as people like Tommy are the only ones who will follow said rule. Criminals will be armed no matter what.
Does that policy make sense to you?
