So at the White House correspondents' dinner last night

A armed man rushed a checkpoint and was taken down after shots were fired...

I'm so jaded on politics I'm wondering if Trump orchestrated it to:
1) get his approval rating up and/or
2) keep from being roasted like he was last time he was there

Thank goodness the Secret Service agent that was shot had a vest and it worked.

If this had happened in New Hampshire the guy could use the State Constitution as his legal defense.

Part First, New Hampshire Constitution
"Article 10
Text of Article 10:
Right of Revolution

Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, and security, of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.[1]"
@Diotrephes Thank you! I was unaware of this, but it is at least as sound legally as the absurd crap that tRUMP and his brainwashed cult claim !
