HB160 - Castle Doctrine bill of 2009 - Committee Hearing Thursday, January 29

January 15, 2009: The Board of Directors of Pro-Gun New Hampshire (PGNH) is forwarding the following notice from State Representative Bob Mead to all PGNH members.  Note: Representative Mead and Senator Letourneau are Advisors of Pro-Gun New Hampshire. 

When you attend the hearing, please remember to wear your PGNH lapel pin.  If you testify, keep it short -- even a minute is good -- but if you don't, just show up and sign the "blue sheet" to show that you support the bill.  [Addendum 1/27/09: It has been pointed out that legislative committees are much more impressed by a large number of "pink cards" -- which declare your intent to testify -- than by the number of signatures on the "blue sheets" -- which just tally non-testifying visitors' support or opposition to a bill.]

 

NOTICE!!!

 

HB160 - Extending the "Castle Doctrine" to the use of physical force in defense of a person to wherever he or she has a legal right to be.

 

will be heard by the NH HOUSE CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE

Thursday January 29th at 1:30 PM

in Room 204 of the Legislative Office Building (LOB) (behind the State House)

 

The following Representatives and Senators who are sponsoring this very important piece of legislation need your help: Rep.  Leo Pepino, Rep.  Robert Mead, Rep.  Barbara Shaw, Rep.  Alfred Baldasaro, Rep.  Pamela Price, Sen.  John Gallus, Sen.  Sheila Roberge, Sen.  Robert Letourneau

Please pass this information on all supporters, as we need to garner as much support as possible when the committee hears testimony on this legislation. The key is the amount of pressure that you can exert by your physical presence and your testimony at the scheduled committee hearing.

In addition, we must mobilize 2nd Amendment supporters from around the state to call, e-mail and write letters to the members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee listed below, urging them to pass HB160.

Thank you in advance for your help and support in the fight to protect our rights.

Sincerely yours,

Bob Mead
House of Representatives
Hillsborough District 4
