So I'm going to visit a friend in Maine this weekend. If I read NH and Maine laws correctly my drive will go like this. Concealed carry in Mass, get to NH line and open carry loaded in truck, get to Maine and can then concealed carry loaded again. Am I missing anything?

If you don't have a NH P&R, the firearm must be unloaded when in a vehicle. If you stop somewhere, though, you can open carry in NH just fine, but carrying loaded in a vehcile requires permit.
You can't be "hot" in NH in a car without a carry permit. I personally would put the gun, unloaded, in a locked case until I got to Maine. I would not want to holster/unholster in a car and eject a live round in my car. I also wouldn't want to do all this at a gas station or a rest station.
yes. This.

From the New Hampshire State Police website:

- I would like to bring my handgun into New Hampshire, yet I don’t have a license to carry concealed. How may I carry?
- You may carry unloaded in your vehicle. Be sure that the ammunition is separate from the gun.
- You may carry loaded on your person. The weapon needs to be fully exposed. For example, it may not be concealed by a shirt or a jacket, or located in a backpack.
- You may carry unloaded and concealed on your person, so long as you do not possess any ammunition on your person.
- Please refer t0 RSA 159 for additional information.
I don't think that part in blue is accurate. It just has to be unloaded. From RSA 159:4:
No person shall carry a loaded pistol or revolver in any vehicle or concealed upon his person, except in his dwelling, house or place of business, without a valid license therefor as hereinafter provided. A loaded pistol or revolver shall include any pistol or revolver with a magazine, cylinder, chamber or clip in which there are loaded cartridges.
That is illegal unless you have a NH Pistol/Revolver license.
The part in blue from the NHSP website is incorrect, [thread=217916]there was a 2013 court decision that makes this clear[/thread], but the New Hampshire State Police have not updated their website in the two years since State of New Hampshire v. Oriol Dor.

Any idea how long it takes to come in? They cashed my check a couple of weeks ago..
My check cleared on April 4th and my NH Non-Res P/R License came today. I mailed my application on March 8th.
Just waiting for my Utah to come in and I'm sending in my Maine application.

You can put in for Maine to your hearts content but at the moment it doesn't buy you anything I don't think.
Hold on. I need to be spoon fed these things because I have a very real aversion to jail.
As dumb as this sounds (and thank you Comm of Ma for polluting the way I look at gun laws) does Maine's constitutional carry law extend to all law abiding US residents or only residents of the State of Maine?
I'm heading up for a few days soon. Can I legally CC without any permit from Maine?
I have my Ma LTC.
