Court rules against town for falling to act on gun permit


According to Nappen, Ferrara applied for a license but never received a response from Streeter. New Hampshire law requires a police chief to either approve or deny a license application within 14 days. Any denials must be written and delivered to the applicant.

I hope the chief has to pay the legal fees out of his pocket. The good citizens of Newton shouldn't have to fund his incompetence.

How does a chief of police in a town of 4000 people overlook an order to appear in court?

Andy must have retired and Otis took over the job, locking himself in the cell.

on March 14, the day his suit was scheduled to be heard, neither Streeter nor anyone representing the town showed up in court.

“The judge asked me, ‘Where's your opposition?'” said Nappen, who had no explanation for why Streeter was a no show. “So we won.”

Nappen said the town's subsequent motion for reconsideration included a memo from Streeter saying he had “completely overlooked” the order to appear in court to answer Ferrara's lawsuit.
