A conflict between the right to carry a firearm and the right to private property recently occurred at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a thrift store and food pantry on Union Avenue.
Customers allegedly became uneasy when a nurse caring for a 5-year-old disabled boy in a wheelchair entered the store carrying a holstered firearm, according to the Laconia Daily Sun.
President of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Erika Johnson asked the women to leave her firearm in her car as guns are not permitted within the store.
Johnson reached out to the Laconia Police Department, who assured her that she is authorized to deny firearms from the store according to N.H. laws, Capt. Matt Canfield confirmed with the Laconia Daily Sun. |

Why ban guns in thrift shops -- because they're no good for shooting fleas?
Unless this absurd restriction is lifted, my shadow will never again darken the threshold of a St. Vincent de Paul thrift shop. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
