I spent the morning on Monday demonstrating in front of our State House. You see a man I know and think very highly of, is now in prison!
Why?
Well, the simple answer is that an overzealous District Attorney put him there, but the real reason is that he was home recovering from surgery and a woman trespassed on his property. When he asked her to leave, she became belligerent. Since he was startled he had his gun in his hand. In New Hampshire we have a right to bear arms. Especially in the middle of the woods, like where Ward’s home is!
The District Attorney said it was Criminal Threatening. She won her case after 4 long years and now he is in Prison.

Here are some pictures from our event! I have put an arrow pointing to me, so you can see me protesting and freezing all at the same time!
Interestingly, they were putting up the state Christmas tree today! That was one big tree!
There were well over 100 people there from all across the state. It warmed my heart to see these people taking time out from their day to demonstrate for Ward’s release.
I protested because I do not believe that defending your house, property, family or self, is a crime. Please pray for my friend. He is a kind, good and gentle man, and would give you the shirt off of his back if you needed it. His wife and 4 children are great people and they are only hanging on because, like all of us, they believe in his innocence.
You see, if the government takes away our right to protect and defend our homes and families, then they might as well chuck out our Constitution!
God speed, Ward, we will keep working to bring you home to your family!
Amen MB, well said
I think the gov. has it’s fingers in too many of our rights! Before long we will have to have their permission to go to the bathroom! The sad part is that he will have to remain behind bars with all the scum until he is proven otherwise……..
Good work! Love YOU, Mel
He will be in our prayers. Please keep us posted on the outcome. If we can’t protect our homes and ourselves then what is the world coming to? Shame on that women for what she did to cause this to happen.
Great Work MB! I would have been right there beside you demonstrating if we were in the same country! His poor family and their personal struggle with this, simply not fair!
That’s why guns are not allowed at all in Belgium or Germany and other European countries, because such things never could happen. Not even a policeman is allowed to carry his weapon home when he has finished his service. You never know how what you do in a situation of agression or danger and with a gun in your hand an unwanted accident can quickly happen.
Someone needs to contact the NRA. Get this man the help he needs.
