your MA permit is null and void upon moving, good luck getting a non resident MA permit!
As for NH... welcome to the almost free state, 10 bucks and 14 days and you'll have a NH Pistol and Revolver permit if you want to CCW, if not, a NH drivers license gets you almost any gun you want at a dealer, or from private parties who know you.

Welcome to New Hampshire!
One of the most important things you need to remeber to do, once you are settled in NH. FORGET EVERYTHING you thought you knew about firearm laws in Mass. They don't apply here, they don't exist here and they don't belong here.
Also, in NH, it is a license, not a permit.

Step 1: Bring your guns to NH.
Step 2: Forget about storage laws, its up to you to be responsible.
Step 3: Buy hi cap magazines for a fraction of the price.
Step 4: Get a $10 Pistol/Revolver License to carry concealed.
Step 5: Remember, MA laws are just for MA. NH is much simpler. You can learn NH law in an hour.
Step 6: Celebrate your free state-ness

I believe MA residents need to inform in writing the COP where the LTC was issued and CHSB vie certified mail.

Since there is no permission needed to own firearms here there is no notification needed when you move if you own guns. Even if you come from out of state, nobody cares. Breathe the free air!
In NH you only need to notify the Police Chief in the town you move into *if* you already have a pistol license. But that's it.

Although correct, I believe this notification is only a consideration if you decide later to get a NR-LTC.
I think that only applies if you already have an NH resident pistol/revolver license.
To the OP:
Here is chapter 159. Pay special attention to 159:6 as that pertains to conceal carry.

There is also another chapter that deals with justification of force.
Chapter 627:

Neither chapter is very long. After having to comprehend Mass laws, you should have no trouble understanding NH's laws on firearms and use of force.
Like others above have said, there is no law for storage (just that firearms be inaccessible to minors without you present, which might be a Federal law, not sure on that) nor are their laws for control. If you live alone or have no kids under 18, you can leave as many guns scattered throughout your house as you want. I don't recommend that however in case a burglar comes round while your not home. I do recommend you have one or two firearms within reach while you are home. If you have kids, I recommend either concealing it on your person at all times while home or having several quick access safes scattered in the places you spend most of your time (office, living room, etc)

Gotta love NH! My wife dropped off her application on Friday. She picked up her license on Monday. It was actually ready Saturday, but we weren't around.
Hey guys,
Sorry to revive an old thread, but I was wondering about moving into an Apartment. Next year I plan on moving to NH, hopefully buying a house if I save enough money but if I don't I'll be moving into an Apartment Complex. If the apartment complex is okay with firearms, am I good with bringing my guns in?

Why wouldn't you be good? It is your place of residence. As long as you pay your rent, no one will give a shit. Hell, even if you don't pay your rent, no one will give a shit.
This is New Hampshire. Questions like this need not be asked or even be concerned about. We are not Massachusetts.

Lucky SOB.
The rest of us inmates are always happy to see someone get over the wall............
Well said!
I just completed my move to New Hampshire as well. I still keep most of my firearms locked in my safe when they aren't in use, but I love that I can open carry and the worst I get is an odd look from the neighbors. XD

Holy crap I can't believe this even needs to be asked?!?
If you are licensed in Massachusetts to possess firearms in your domicile and you properly store them, then it is nobody's business but yours and the Commonwealth's. Living in an apartment is not like living in a dorm. If an apartment complex unlikely had a "no firearms on premises" clause in the lease, then I wouldn't rent there. Public housing is different because the .gov owns it.
Are we so oppressed here in Mass that people even question the whether they can posses firearms in their own domicile as long as they meet the criteria? If it is, then Lord Have Mercy on because we are heading towards Sheeple Land faster than I thought.
