Should (Peaceful) People Be Able to Carry Firearms on (Public University) Campuses?

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.

The poll is in the bottom right.

Help Defend Self-Defense Rights in New Hampshire!!

Tommy Mozingo and I have retained the services of Attorney Brandon Ross and Attorney Seth Hipple to fight the horrible restraining order which turns specifically legal activity into “contempt of court.” If it were illegal in the first place, why would they need to have convinced a judge to make it contempt?

The first phase of our case in the Superior Court should run us around $1500. All donated funds will go directly to Attorney Hipple and Attorney Ross to fight the illegal regulations of the University System of New Hampshire which restrict firearm and knife possession on public property.

The Chip-in page can be found here.

Please consider donating and coming to the hearing on 12/13/11 at 2:30PM in the Grafton Superior Court to stand up for your, and everyone else’s, right to self-defense! Don’t let the state take away your natural, constitutional, and statutory rights to defend yourself without a fight!

People in government should know that every effort they put forward to strip self-defense freedom from us, The People, will be met with vicious opposition!

Brad Jardis and Tommy Mozingo take questions from the crowd

It was showtime, and no one much desired to be the first to stand in the courtyard. In front of the Hartman Union Building (HUB) at Plymouth State University, first came the journalists, then the (technically) counter protesters. They were organized with signs. Their protest began as they stood in a line, more signs than students. A familiar cast from independent media streamed in. Sheriff’s deputies, state troopers and, to a much lesser extent, university police formed compacted columns at all major walkway points of entry.

The chalk sat locked in my trunk, but I bore two arms as I awaited Brad Jardis and Tommy Mozingo’s responsible gun carry outreach event. My customary sidearm, the Nikon Coolpix S570 sat mounted atop my telescopic tripod. On my hip was a spare battery and a fully unloaded 8 gigabyte SD card. Slung on my back, in a portable DVD player case that functions superior to any camera case I’ve seen for the purpose, was a a JVC mini DV camcorder with a single battery pack. The young dinosaur of the pre-digital age was at the ready in the case that I expended all of my digital video, or if any action required the 32x optical zoom capability. (more…)

Respect For Respectful USNH/PSU Officials

This morning I had an excellent conversation with the University System of New Hampshire General Counsel Ronald Rogers and Plymouth State University Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Hage. I got a genuine sense that these two professionals were doing their very best to balance what is understandably is a difficult situation to deal with.

That situation is, of course, the informational outreach event scheduled for Friday at 9:00AM on their campus.

In response to the respectful way that the General Counsel and Vice President’s concerns were addressed to me, Tommy and I have decided that during our educational outreach we will have unloaded weapons with both trigger and breech locks securely affixed. In other words, the firearms we intend on carrying for symbolic speech will be rendered absolutely non-functional.

High School Outreach

Originally posted at the upcoming LadiesInKeene.com

School outreach will occur on Tuesday afternoons;

Schools in the area will be visited on a rotating basis.

On Tuesday December 6, 2011, eight people went out to the Keene High School to do outreach.  “CopBlock.org” and “Stop War” banners were positioned facing the school so that they were visible to individuals on or leaving the premises. Those holding the banners waved to people on the buses and many returned friendly gestures.

Fliers were offered to as many individuals leaving on foot as possible. The majority of students approached accepted the flier and seemed genuinely interested.
