CONCORD (AP) — Four years ago, Gov. John Lynch blocked gun rights advocates’ effort to expand a person’s right to use deadly force in selfdefense without first attempting to retreat. The legislation will be back this coming year, and this time, Lynch may not be able to stop its passage. In his veto message blocking the 2006 gun bill, the Democratic Lynch said he wanted to avoid a law that “would authorize any shopper to instantly shoot and kill a thief who had grabbed or tugged at the shopper’s purse or briefcase, regardless of how many shoppers might be placed in harm’s way by such actions.” His opposition led to a compromise this year that softened the prohibition against drawing a gun on someone. The new law takes effect Saturday and allows citizens to show a weapon to warn away a potential attacker without facing prosecution. That law may not stand long, however, before being replaced see FORCe page 10

GILMANTON IRON WORKS — A half-year ago, Sean and Simone Lord took over the century and a decade old Iron Works Market. The two might have tied the proverbial knot in 1994 but only by purchasing the market have they been able to fully entwine together their lives.
This year has been an important step for the Lords, as they became business partners as well as spouses. It’s also a milestone for the store and its patrons, as the Lords think their dedication and personal touch will restore the business to the celebrated local market that it had been for most years since it was started in 1900. see IRON WORKs MaRKet page 12
