What this bill proposes to do is to give jurisdiction over all felony cases to the New Hampshire Superior Court. On the surface this seems like it would streamline the processing of felonies by the courts. But, keep in mind that most self-defense cases involving a firearm are charged as felonies. Now, instead of being entitled to a probable cause hearing in District court, where charges could be dropped, defendants would have to proceed immediately to a costly high-stakes trial. |

| Too bad the NH/MA border is so open ! One of the "downsides' of our improved road networks ! Seems MA's resident socialist/progressives have invaded NH in sufficient quantity to affect serious social legal changes. Changes not so "financially troubling" for those earning the "big bucks" - or living in select communities - while enjoying a lower=case taxes and local economy, but a life-altering disaster for most NH residents. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
