Magazine Limit Bill

A public hearing is set for a bill that would ban standard capacity magazines in the state of New Hampshire. House Bill 1608 is set to have a public hearing before the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee this Wednesday at 1:30pm. The bill would prohibit magazines that would hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition in a handgun and magazines that would hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition inside a rifle. The law is worded to not apply to agents of the government. Magazine capacities for firearms vary depending on the make and model but the average standard magazine sold with a semi-automatic rifle often holds 30 rounds. Competition magazines for such firearms often hold 40 rounds. Full size handguns such as the Glock 17 or Sig P320 often hold 17 rounds for their standard out of the box magazine. Special lower-capacity magazines have been developed for such firearms that are sold in states with similar bans.

Wolfeboro’s Fire-Rescue and Police Departments, and Stewart’s Ambulance Service, responded to a bridge construction site on Pleasant Valley Road yesterday after a report of a motor vehicle accident. Someone involved in the accident was injured and had gone into the water, although authorities haven’t identified if they were the driver or a passenger in the vehicle. Wolfeboro’s Fire-Rescue Department pulled the patient out of the water with cold water rescue suits, ladders, webbing, and a backboard, before stabilizing them. The process reportedly took 12 minutes to pull the patient from the water after the Fire-Rescue Personnel arrived. The patient was flown to Portland for medical treatment. Authorities say the incident remains under investigation.
