A man fighting to get his guns back after being found incompetent to stand trial on criminal charges now says he's competent and was misled by his first attorney to use incompetency as a defense. Scott Buchanan, 35, who was arrested after allegedly causing a scene at the state Department of Motor Vehicles in 2004, wants the incompetency finding struck from his record and a chance to stand trial. Buchanan's new attorney has told a court that Buchanan is distrustful of government officials and not an academic genius but legally capable of owning a gun. It's the latest twist in a case that has gone to the state Supreme Court and back and raised complicated legal issues along the way. Like this one: In May, the high court concluded that Buchanan's incompetency to stand trial did not also necessarily make him legally unfit to own a gun. The justices said those are separate questions requiring separate analyses and returned the case to the lower court for Round 2. Concord, NH District Court Judge Gerard Boyle is scheduled to consider that question and several others in a case later this month, nearly three years after Buchanan was arrested at the motor vehicle department in Concord in November 2004. Buchanan's new attorney, Penny Dean of Concord, has asked the court to seal the case and all hearings from the public to spare Buchanan embarrassment. The state's prosecutor and the Concord Monitor are challenging that position.

This assclown claims he's too crazy to know right from wrong to get his criminal case dismissed, but now he wants to have guns. Right...idiot.
