New Hampshire House Narrowly Passes Bill to take key Self-Defense Provisions Away

Posted on by

Thanks to the NRA/ILA Alert System I have been informed that New Hampshire HB 135 has passed the House and moves for a Senate vote. If this passes the Senate key provisions will be gutted that:

  1. Eliminates the provision that allows a person to use deadly force anywhere he or she has a legal right to be.  This limits an individual’s ability to defend themselves or a third party from assault to their own place of residence.
  2. Amends the definition of non-deadly force by removing the provision that specifies the act of producing or displaying a weapon is considered non-deadly force.  Thus, drawing or exhibiting your firearm to intimidate a perpetrator could be considered deadly force.
  3. Repeals the provision granting civil immunity for the use of force in certain circumstances.  The elimination of this provision removes legal protections for law-abiding citizens acting in self-defense.
