COOS COUNTY — While the movement to designate Coos County as a Second Amendment Sanctuary ran into legal snags, the bill that spurred the effort has been vetoed by Gov. Chris Sununu.

Last Friday, Sununu vetoed House Bill 687, commonly known as the “Red Flag” or extreme risk protection bill. The bill allowed police or family members to petition the court to temporarily suspend an individual’s right to possess or purchase a firearm if they present a danger to themselves or others. The bill is designed to allow authorities to remove firearms from people considered at high risk to commit suicide or mass shootings.
