MA resident wants to go up to NH to shoot his guns on private property. Legal?

[ItalianBostonian]

Quick question, I am a Mass resident with a Mass Class A LTC unrestricted, I have have my NH non resident permit to carry. Can I bring all my guns up to NH to shoot on private land with the permission of the land owner?

 

[glide]

Yes.

 

[Kevlar]

IANAL or a NH resident, but it would appear so...

Q: Where is it legal to shoot?

A: Per state law (RSAs 207:3-a, 207:3-c, and 644:13), you may not shoot across or within 15 feet of a road, or “within 300 feet of a permanently occupied dwelling without permission of the owner or the occupant of the dwelling or from the owner of the land on which the person discharging the firearm or shooting the bow and arrow is situated.”

You also may not discharge a firearm within the “compact part of a town or city,” defined as “the territory within a town or city comprised of the following:

(a) Any nonresidential, commercial building, including, but not limited to, industrial, educational, or medical buildings, plus a perimeter 300 feet wide around all such buildings without permission of the owner.

(b) Any park, playground, or other outdoor public gathering place designated by the legislative body of the city or town.

(c) Any contiguous area containing 6 or more buildings which are used as either part-time or permanent dwellings and the spaces between them where each such building is within 300 feet of at least one of the others, plus a perimeter 300 feet wide around all the buildings in such area.”

I'm sure that if I am mistaken, someone will be along shortly to correct me.

You really had to ask this question? Of course it's legal, as it is in most of the US.

BTW, ,no "permits" of any kind are required for recreational shooting, or "mere possession" in NH. The only thing the permit does is concealed carry and loaded car carry. That's it.

This!

If you are not a prohibited person by federal law you can take anything you want to NH and shoot it. NH only requires a permit to carry concealed. If you own it in MA you certainly may possess it in NH. Too bad that doesn't go both ways.

Hell, if you have a cannon, bring that, too! It's all good in the Granite State.

Can I bring all my guns up to NH?

Sounds like you don't have enough guns.

I saddens me that this question even has to be asked........

This is what happens when you've been oppressed for too long. You can't believe freedom is legal.

 

[ItalianBostonian]

Thanks guys. I just wanted to be sure lol.
Went up today, had tons of fun and taught some new people how to shoot.

Yep.

It's sad that when the thought up the rules for this great nation they didn't put together a list of things that future politician bureaucrats could not oppress its citizens with.
