because not MA. where after a fishing trip stop, the driver doesn't even get a click it or ticket. novel idea huh? no revenue for you. go away.
 
No you are free to carry as it should be without govt. permission. You will still have to check where there might be any restrictions on carrying though.
Which makes me ask the question of our free NH friends here on NES. What are the restrictions for carrying in NH? Govt. buildings, posted property or none.

I was just doing the same as Jamesvt.

According to USAconcealedcarry.com

If you just have the MA LTC, you have reciprocity in the follwing states:

Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont,


If you keep your NH non-res, then your list of reciprocity states grows to this:

Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, [NH was here], Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming,

USACC hasn't updated Maine yet, so add that to the list.

Interesting that Wisconsin is on the map that James posted, but not on USACC's, so ultimately, if you're going to travel, double check. But just the fact that you get Pennsylvania with the NH non-res, it might be a good idea to keep it, or just get one again if you're going to travel.

YMMV.

Thank you for the clarifications. I am used to Massachusetts double talk and was just looking for it in simple terms. I'll take "snarkey" I have a thick skin. My comment about the Mass permit was reference to needing a copy of it sent in with the NH Non Res Permit application. No harm no foul. Have a great day of freedom!

Remember, please, all of you NH guys and gals (Maine too, and anywhere else where g-g-g-GUNS aren't considered b-b-b-BAD like they are here in MA)....it's almost unfathomable (yet in a GREAT way) to all of us who are neighbors of yours, all of us who are locked here in this Stalag, almost unfathomable that a law now exists, in a neighboring state literally minutes away, that says, basically, "Listen, neighbor, all of the absolutely effed up, lunatic, moonbat, Anti-gun, Anti-self protection, wingnut, backwards laws/rules/regulations/pukings etc etc etc aren't applicable up here in God's Country".

Be "gentle" on us for asking possibly redundant or "absolutely stupid" repeated questions, over and over...cuz you have to understand that it still literally seems unfathomable to us that our neighbors' elected reps and appointed officials have their heads actually on their shoulders...(instead of shoved literally all the way up their idiotic Liberal arses, the way they are here in this insane asylum we inhabit down here in the CommonPuke of LiberChusetts...)

That about sums it up.
 
Just got an email from NHFC containing, among other things:

SB 12 does four important things:

1) It repeals the requirement to to obtain a license to carry a loaded concealed pistol or revolver OR carry a loaded pistol or revolver in a vehicle;
2) SB 12 mandates that anyone who is NOT prohibited by state or federal statute from possessing a firearm is automatically qualified to receive a license (which is now optional) for purposes of reciprocity with other states;
3) Mandates that the Department of Safety pursue reciprocity agreements with the jurisdictions that we do not currently have agreements with;
4) Finally, SB 12 increases the term of validity of a license from not less than 4 years to not less than 5 years.

It is important to note, that if you choose to carry a loaded pistol or revolver on a snowmobile or ATV, a license is still required pursuant to RSA 215 A-20 and RSA 215 C-35 . These statutes appear in the fish and game laws. We would have liked to repeal them, but we felt that it was more important to fight for the significant, important changes listed above. If you own a snowmobile or ATV please renew your pistol / revolver license. We will diligently work to repeal these anti-gun laws.

It appears not,

III. The availability of a license to carry a loaded pistol or revolver under this section or under any other provision of law shall not be construed to impose a prohibition on the unlicensed transport or carry of a firearm in a vehicle, or on or about one’s person, whether openly or concealed, loaded or unloaded, by a resident, nonresident, or alien if that individual is not otherwise prohibited by statute from possessing a firearm in the state of New Hampshire.

It seems to extend to non residents. Whether or no you want to get a NH permit because it helps in other states is up to you.

IANAL, but a plain reading of this seems to indicate that non residents are okay without a NH permit.

Dear Gun owner,

Today, February 22, 2017, George Washington's 285th birthday, was a great day to be a New Hampshire resident. At about 1045 this morning, Governor Chris Sununu signed SB 12, Constitutional Carry into law. The new law takes effect immediately. SB 12 is now CHAPTER 1 of the laws of 2017, the first bill signed by the Governor. Thank you for your calls and emails.

What a great birthday present for the father of our country, liberty lives on in the Live Free or Die State. There is no other place on earth like New Hampshire!

I think that you will enjoy seeing a few photos from today's bill signing. I was there with NHFC President Scott Krauss and our Corporate Secretary Rep. JR Hoell and it was wonderful to watch history being made!

SB 12 does four important things:

1) It repeals the requirement to to obtain a license to carry a loaded concealed pistol or revolver OR carry a loaded pistol or revolver in a vehicle;
2) SB 12 mandates that anyone who is NOT prohibited by state or federal statute from possessing a firearm is automatically qualified to receive a license (which is now optional) for purposes of reciprocity with other states;
3) Mandates that the Department of Safety pursue reciprocity agreements with the jurisdictions that we do not currently have agreements with;
4) Finally, SB 12 increases the term of validity of a license from not less than 4 years to not less than 5 years.

It is important to note, that if you choose to carry a loaded pistol or revolver on a snowmobile or ATV, a license is still required pursuant to RSA 215 A-20 and RSA 215 C-35 . These statutes appear in the fish and game laws. We would have liked to repeal them, but we felt that it was more important to fight for the significant, important changes listed above. If you own a snowmobile or ATV please renew your pistol / revolver license. We will diligently work to repeal these anti-gun laws.

The Union Leader interviewed NHFC Advisor, Executive Councilor David Wheeler:

“We’ve been working on this for 28 years,” said Repubican Executive Councilor David Wheeler of Milford, who as a state representatives sponsored some of the earliest versions of concealed carry legislation.

His son, an attorney, drafted much of the language in the bill that was signed into law on Wednesday.

Without you, the grassroots gun owners sending letters and emails and making phone calls this significant law could not have been enacted. Your petitions made a huge difference as well. Earlier today I delivered them to the Governor. Please click here for photos from today's bill signing.

Thanks for your support.

A PA license gives you the same coverage, except for NH, which is now moot.

USACC hasn't updated Maine yet, so add that to the list.

Interesting that Wisconsin is on the map that James posted, but not on USACC's, so ultimately, if you're going to travel, double check. But just the fact that you get Pennsylvania with the NH non-res, it might be a good idea to keep it, or just get one again if you're going to travel.

YMMV.

One correction, West Virginia went constitutional carry last year. There are some nuances to municipal property/buildings and whatnot, but overall, it's good to go.
 
One other point that was brought up in a different discussion...

In NH, there's no law prohibiting firearm carry on school grounds, but the federal GFSZA Act still applies.... UNLESS you have a permit/licensed issued by the State or political entity that the school is in.

So: a Resident OR Non-Resident NH PRL allows school carry. Beyond reciprocity, that's another reason to keep/renew them.
 
Cheers! [cheers]

I've been saving this bottle of Kirk & Sweeney 23 year rum for such an occasion as this. Here's to all that made this possible!

Bottoms up mateys.

Well put cousin... Although you CAN escape the Stalag you know... You don't even need to keister carry the implements of your liberation... [rofl2]
 
Nice job New Hampshire!!!


I've had a P&R License for years as well as a Maine Non Res. I've read thru a bunch of pages here and have a simple question I did not see asked.

"Does NH have a stipulation that you must declare a firearm if stopped by any LEO"? It looks like the answer is no. I fully understand the benefits of keeping it but I don't travel out of the northeast except to NY and we all know how that works.

Reason I ask is in ME you do not have to declare it if you maintain your license and I will keep it active and not rely on the Constitutional Carry Law to avoid the conversation.

Again. Congratulations on this pro gun win.

It's way more than just gun rights. Anyone who isn't a moonbat in MA is almost completely disenfranchised at this point. (your vote is almost worthless, barring a few regions of MA that aren't entirely gerrymandered to death) Even if you ignore or set aside gun issues for the moment; I would never encourage anyone to take residency here. Did you not see what the legislators did the other day? they raised their ****ing salaries by a huge amount, and like 10 people complained (mostly people on NES and a few newsies) and 5 minutes later everyone forgot about it. "Oh well". etc. That's typical MA bullshit, and its getting worse by the day.

Preach the truth, brother! Though, I wasn't even aware of that news about salary increases. Just about everything about this godforsaken state angers and frustrates me to no end. I detest Demonrats and their treasonous and devious ways with a passion.

From the apathy and "it is what it is" mentality that has resulted in this corrupt state government we now have today (as exemplified by that salary increase proposal), to the moonbat leftists who want to deprive us from our constitutional freedoms and liberties, to our crumbling infrastructure whose desperately needed funds instead enter the pockets of our politicians, to over-taxation and over-regulation, and et cetera... I've had enough of Dumbassachusetts altogether. I'm ashamed and embarrassed to call this Marxist/Socialist shit show my home state. I will never invest in any property or look for another job here. Everything going forward will have to be planned out-of-state (and in a red or swing state). I'm single, so that should be manageable. Thankfully, by the grace of all that is holy, we live in the United States and not the EU.

But never mind these valid complaints. Let's just take pride in drinking Dunkins iced coffee and watching the Red Sox.

Bread and Circuses, folks.

I truly hope to retire soon to your beautiful state.
Any room for a gun loving, freedom loving, blue state refugee looking to escape?
If I could find a job in my trade I'd probably make plans ASAP.

There is always room for another freedom seeking patriot. Join in the fun.
 
I've been in NH coming up on 5 years now. I can't believe how fast the time has passed. I left the state of ma. as a gift to myself and my wife. No I didn't run away with my tail tucked between my legs because I was afraid of a fight. I've had more GD fights than Mike Tyson. But that is useless against a crooked state. I lived under the boot for 55 years and got sick of fighting a loosing battle against a corrupt machine allowed to stay in power by mostly unaffected mindless fools. I decided I would no longer be part of the problem. Yes, paying taxes and being present makes you part of the problem. Remember what a certain someone used to say. "What you tolerate you validate". If some of you feel you can change that system good luck, but I feel sorry for you. You have only one life and in my opinion you are wasting it living under the boot. I love NH and coming here is the best thing I ever did to improve my life and the life of my wife. NH is everything I hoped it would be and more. YMMV
 
Question, and I apologize if this was asked in the previous 19 pages, but:

As I understand it, a P&RL is still required to carry a loaded pistol on an OHRV, correct? Per the fish and game statute.

Does that apply to boats as well?

Thought I had the answer but the RSA I was going to quote only dealt with loaded rifles and shotguns...it didn't mention handguns.

As I understand it, and I am not an expert, the fish and game statute only applies to ATV/UTV/Snowmobile. I have always CCed on boats and believe they are treated like regular vehicles/cars.
