I was pulled over while driving 50 mph in a 55 mph zone. The officer alleges I was going 72. That is impossible because I was stuck behind a slow-moving pickup truck for about 20 miles, and that truck was keeping me slowed at a pace of 50 mph.

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.”

Thanks to Beau-dizzle ( on Facebook, on FreeKeene.com, on LibertyOnTour.com) for putting this guy on my radar earlier today.
Here’s another from him: An Open Message to Police & Military.
This past Friday Pete Eyre, fellow CopBlocker and FreeKeene.com blogger, and I went to Plymouth State University to cover the gun protest put on by former police officer, Brad Jardis. While there I spotted an individual who seemed a bit out of place. Turns out he was an undercover police officer.
Pete also interviewed several cops present about the double standard they were displaying by carrying firearms to protect people but using those same guns against someone who decided to do the same. Below is that video:
