CONCORD — The New Hampshire House just voted at about 2 p.m. to override Gov. John Lynch's veto of an expanded deadly force bill. That vote, 251-111, follows the state Senate's similar recent vote on Senate Bill 88.
The legislation was strongly opposed by members of the state's law enforcement community.
The bill, now law, allows citizens to use deadly force to defend themselves in public places. Previously, that right was restricted to one's home.
