Constitutional Carry in NH?!

[Andy in NH]

From an email by Gun Owners of America:

While there is no official bill number at this time, GOA has reviewed Rep. Hoell's proposed language to bring genuine right-to-carry reform to the Granite State. Modeled after legislation that was originally enacted in Alaska (and last year in Arizona), the concept is known as Constitutional Carry (sometimes called Alaska-style carry).

Essentially, with the passage of this bill, law-abiding New Hampshire citizens will no longer have to beg government permission to exercise a right; no longer be faced with bureaucratic hoops to jump through; and, no longer be registered with the State -- which always carries a risk of future confiscation. There simply will not be any permit required to carry either openly or concealed.

But wait, some might say. What about reciprocity? Without a permit, other states won't recognize my right to carry.

That's the real beauty of Hoell's legislation. The bill makes obtaining a permit OPTIONAL. If you desire to get one for reciprocity or other purposes, by all means do so. But you won't HAVE to.

This is a concept whose time has definitely come. All New Hampshire gun owners are urged to get behind the bill and help send it to Gov. Lynch's desk!

According to USA Carry, NH resident permits are currently honored by: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, and Wyoming.
