Governor Maggie Hassan says she doesn’t believe National Guard recruiters should be armed.
After a shooting earlier this month at two recruiting centers in Tennessee left five military personnel dead, 60 New Hampshire House members called on Hassan to allow recruiters in the Granite State to be armed.
Hassan has been reviewing security measures at recruiting centers with the New Hampshire National Guard.
She says because the National Guard doesn’t recommend arming recruiters, it’s not something she will support.
Hassan says she would consider any recommendations from the National Guard to improve security at the cites.
Armed civilians have been stationed outside military recruiting centers across the Granite State since the shooting.
