This is a scary story and a good reminder to check up on your state laws regarding criminal threatening, New Hampshire is a pretty gun friendly state but the criminal threatening laws are so vague that we experienced a travesty of justice recently. I don't know this man personally but he lives two towns over from me and from what I hear he's a good man, father of 4 and a good Cub Scout leader. From this website -

It’s a long story, but in the short– a woman trespassed on Ward’s property and he asked her several times to leave, but she refused. She claimed that Ward came out of his house with a gun, ran down his porch steps pointing it at her. At the time, Ward had only been home 9 days since emergency surgery for a ruptured abdominal aorta. Not only was he in no condition to do what she claims he did, he has always maintained that he never pointed or gestured towards her with the gun. Now he is doing 3 to 6 years in state prison because it was her word against his.
The court case is posted below.
