No more checks on seized firearms

The New Hampshire Department of Safety has ordered law enforcement agencies to end the practice of running background checks before returning confiscated firearms to their owners.

The order is in response to a complaint filed with the New Hampshire Department of Safety by Concord attorney Evan F. Nappen.

Nappen, who specializes in New Hampshire weapons law, contacted the state in April after the Manchester Police Department ran an NICS check on one of his clients. Nappen said he discovered soon after that background checks were also being run at some of New Hampshire's superior courts.

Just another illustration of our liberal-infested, public-school system at work.

So this lawyer doesn't want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. Ooooookay..... - Jean, Manchester

Remedial reading of the article at it's best

That’s the one that got me laughing. An obvious headline reader and knee-jerk voter.

Mostly likely those from MA, CT & NY who moved N to escape their socialist utopias. I dont think remedial reading is going to help in this case as they’ll never grasp the concepts of personal responsibility.

That headline is indeed very misleading. The checks are not run on the firearms as such (e.g., ballistics testing) but rather on the owners of the firearms.
