Derry board signs off on home gun business
DERRY — Despite the objections of many of their Hubbard Hill Road neighbors, Alan and Susan Fillingham were granted a special exception by the Zoning Board of Adjustments to operate an Internet-based gun business from their 18 Hubbard Hill Road home.
Although the ZBA typically grants the special exceptions for home-based computer businesses without much fuss, the nature of the gun business did create a close vote, with the special exception passing, 3-2.

The start-up business, Brothers in Arms, will focus mainly on the sale of antique and collectable firearms, and Fillingham said the great majority of sales will be done over the Internet. While he said the ATF requires him to keep business hours, Fillingham said those hours will be by appointment only and that he does not expect to have many customers coming to his home.
In addition to the firearms, Fillingham, a competitive shooter, said he will be selling ancillary supplies related to competitive shooting.
