And has all his weapons seized by the police. I guess he should have just handed the burgler his gun so as not to upset him. Can't have any bullying at robbery scenes anymore as somebody might get upset. What kind of complete insanity has taken over this country???
"Dennis Fleming, 61, of Farmington, was arrested for reckless conduct after the Saturday incident at his 19th century farmhouse. The single grandfather had returned home to find that his home had been burglarized and spotted Joseph Hebert, 27, climbing out of a window at a neighbor's home. Fleming said he yelled "Freeze!" before firing his gun into the ground, then held Hebert at gunpoint until police arrived.
"I didn't think I could handle this guy physically, so I fired into the ground," Fleming told FoxNews.com. "He stopped. He knew I was serious. I was angry … and I was worried that this guy was going to come after me."
No one was injured in the incident, but when the police arrived, they made two arrests. Hebert was charged with two counts of burglary and drug possession. He faces up to seven years in prison if convicted. Fleming, meanwhile, is scheduled to be arraigned March 20 on a charge of reckless conduct, which could potentially land him a sentence similar to the one Hebert faces."
No it appears self defense is against the law. Protecting your property is against the law. You pesky citizens don't need to do that just call 9-11 and hope the bad guy doesn't kill you before the po po arrive it appears.
So breaking a law is okay now?
For either of them?
I would have never guessed what the burglery victim did (firing his gun into the ground while being victimized by a criminal) was against the law in NH.

If it was a woman about to be raped? What then? She better be sure to kill the guy or she would be charged with a crime.
