GOV. HASSAN SLAMS THE DOOR ON ‘STAND YOUR GROUND’ LEGISLATION

“The vote to repeal New Hampshire’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ law was an assault on the rights of Granite Staters to protect themselves and their property. Will Governor Hassan stand up for the rights of New Hampshire citizens or continue to slam the door in their face?”

(Manchester – April 3, 2013)  Last month, the Democrat-controlled New Hampshire House narrowly passed HB 135, the repeal bill that would strip away the rights of citizens to stand their ground and protect themselves, others and their properties when faced with a deadly threat.[1]

Granite Staters are asking Governor Maggie Hassan to stand up for New Hampshire families and their right to protect themselves. However, when asked at an event in Concord yesterday, the Governor refused repeated attempts for her position on the repeal of the commonly called “Stand Your Ground” bill and eventually slammed her door rather than responding.

Derek Dufresne, spokesman for Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, Inc, made the following statement:

“The vote to repeal New Hampshire’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ law was an assault on the rights of Granite Staters to protect themselves and their property. Will Governor Hassan stand up for the rights of New Hampshire citizens or continue to slam the door in their face?”

“New Hampshire residents deserve to know whether Governor Hassan stands with the rights of Granite State families to protect themselves or with the violent criminals who hope to inflict harm on good standing citizens. We urge New Hampshire residents to call Governor Hassan at 603-271-2121 and tell her to support your right to protect yourself and your family.”

Teens Robbed of I-pod/Cell Phone

 

MANCHESTER, NH- On Monday, February 11, 2013, at about 6:30 PM, Manchester Police responded to a Clay Street address for a report of a robbery.  On arrival, they met with two 16 year old Manchester teens who reported they had been the victims of a robbery a short time earlier on Somerville Street, near Belmont Street.

 

According to the boys, they were walking in the area when they were approached by two men, one of whom demanded their belongings, indicating his companion had a gun, although no gun was observed.

 

One of the boys surrendered his I-pod Nano and Galaxy S3 cell phone and the men left.  They were last seen leaving the area as passengers in an older, dark colored 4-door sedan operated by a third individual who was possibly wearing a red sweatshirt.

 

The first suspect was described as a white male in his forties, about 6’3” tall with a slender build and dark “stubble” on his face.  He was last seen wearing a dark colored vest and a green “beanie” style hat.  The second man, alleged to have possessed a gun, was described as a clean-shaven white male in his forties with an average height and build.  He was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt and khaki pants.
