  • Governor Maggie Hassan Office of the Governor State House 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03301
    Governor Maggie Hassan Office of the Governor State House 107 North Main Street Concord, NH 03301 Your Excellency, It has come to our attention that members of the New Hampshire National Guard, of whom you are the Commander-in- Chief, are not allowed to carry firearms openly or concealed except under specific direction from yourself or the local commander. This fact appears to be due to current standing orders, regulations, or policies and denies to them the right of self-protection enjoyed by all citizens of New Hampshire. This right is embodied in Part 1, Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution, which provides that “[a]ll persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property, and the state.” Due to the multi -dimensional threat posed to our nation and our state by various terror groups, including radical Islamic Jihadists (as demonstrated most recently in the military reserve and recruiting stations assassinations in Chattanooga Tennessee), it is our firm opinion that it is imprudent to continue to refuse New Hampshire Guard personnel their right to arm themselves at their own discretion. The current policy of not allowing members to carry concealed or even openly is a supreme irony in that we come from a strong Second Amendment state that is both an "open-carry" and "shall-issue" pistol permit state for concealed carry. Furthermore, people who have volunteered to put their lives on the line in defense of our state and federal constitutions should have the means available to civilians to protect themselves and their comrades at all times.

    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Robert R. Cushing, et al. v. Civil No. 21-cv-147-LM Opinion No. 2021 DNH 039 P Sherman Packard, in his official capacity as Speaker of the House for the N.H. House of Representatives O R D E R Seven members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives1 (“Individual Plaintiffs”) and the New Hampshire Democratic Party bring this suit against the Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Each of the Individual Plaintiffs has one or more serious health conditions that place him or her at high risk for severe illness or death should he or she contract COVID-19. Plaintiffs allege that the Speaker’s failure to allow the Individual Plaintiffs to participate remotely in House sessions violates Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act (codified at 42 U.S.C. §§ 12131-12134), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (codified at 29 U.S.C. § 794), the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and Part I, Article 11 of the New Hampshire Constitution. 1 The members’ names are Robert “Renny” Cushing, David Cote, Kenneth Snow, Katherine Rogers, Paul Berch, Diane Langley, and Charlotte DiLorenzo. Cushing sues in both his individual capacity and as the Minority Leader of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Presently before the court is plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction (doc. no. 2) compelling the Speaker to permit the Individual Plaintiffs and 23 other House members with serious health conditions to participate remotely in an upcoming session of the House on February 24 and 25, 2021.
