Carry in Bar/Restaurant in NH Legal?

[FrugalFannie]

Sorry. I can't find it. I have been trying to use the search option and I get too many non relevant answers.

Can I cc in NH in an establishment that serves alcohol?

Have you looked at the list of prohibited places and locations listed in the NH statutes?

 

[Lamina]

You absolutely can.

There are very few places where you cannot carry in NH. A courthouse is about the only one I can think of.

 

[Flyer007]

With non-resident permit (for the cc) yes you can. They might have sign saying, No Weapons, but that only means their rules not law.

Great Buffet in Manchester (across from the mall) has (had?) a sign - so don't eat there.

If they HAVE the sign still existing I agree don't eat. IF they have changed their policy to allow it now all the better and Eat up.

Gun Free Zone = Safe!

I've been there and didn't notice the sign. In truth, having eaten there, I feel safer with the guns than their food...

This. [STRIKE]Also K-12 schools but that is also federal law (though I believe it is also in the sate law as well). [/STRIKE] Technically you can even carry in the statehouse. It is only against statehouse rules (statutes only say courts [STRIKE]and I believe K-12 schools[/STRIKE]). I do not recall ever seeing that NH has a signage law like TX does.

Also while NH does not make it illegal to drink alcohol while CCing, I do not recommend imbibing while CCing.

No, there are no school prohibitions, either, state or federal.

For the 900th time, there is no bar carry ban in NH.

Well, at least for K-12 schools, this is a subject of debate. It depends on whether you believe the Federal GFSZ is still legally valid or not after US V Lopez. The problem is the NH CCW doesn't pass muster under the provisions in GFSZ act, but I just can't see a federal prosecutor getting excited over making a very thin attempt to prosecute a person with a CCW who was carrying in a school. The "tests" established in US v Lopez make such convictions considerably more thorny, IMO.

This is a theory which seems to be held by a minority of persons, albeit a vocal minority. The previous US Attorney here disagreed with that position when queried.

Next time try the Tap Room in Manchester, I think it's mandatory to carry there

Just get the right place. You mean Murphy's Taproom, on Elm St, not Boynton's Taproom, which is a more upscale place in the Millyard. FYI, Murphy's policy is not to serve alcohol to anyone open carrying.

Yes you can. Always remember, leave your Mass way of thinking about firearms at the border. They do not apply here.
