CONCORD, N.H. — A New Hampshire teenager sued his former high school principal and others Thursday, alleging they illegally searched his truck based solely on his status as a gun owner.

Jack Harrington, 18, graduated from Hillsboro-Deering High School in June, about two months after he says he was harassed and interrogated by school officials who subsequently found nothing when they searched his truck in the school parking lot. His lawsuit against the superintendent, principal, vice principal and school resource officer was filed in U.S. District Court by the Second Amendment Foundation.

According to the suit, Harrington told another student that he had been pulled over by police while driving off campus and had informed the officer that his handgun was lawfully stored in the glove box.
