Here are the top stories today in Bedford: Gun decision: In 13 states, including New Hampshire, it's up to the judge if a person under a temporary order of protection is allowed to keep their guns. A Nov. 2021 article published in The Trace wanted to understand how those decisions are made and if they aligned with the evidence. They looked at domestic protection orders in Michigan, Arizona, New Hampshire, and South Dakota, and found that firearm restrictions were seldom tied to a protection order, even if the victim was threatened with a gun.

Britain's Ministry of Defense said that the pilot safely ejected from the £100 million jet, and returned to the HMS Queen Elizabeth ship. The F-35 is an"invisible" jet with the capability to fly undetected.

Bedford residents who worked on developing top-secret components for the fighter jet may be wondering how this will all turn out. (The Union Leader)Holiday events!
