I'm moving to New Hampshire because 1. Maryland passed an AWB, so I'm leaving on principle, and 2. my company has volunteered to move me to the Hopkinton office (from Maryland) and I refuse to live in Mass. I'll most likely be living in far southern New Hampshire, right near the MA border. Maybe around Nashua/Pelham/Holis.
I'm an avid shooter: I compete in 3 Gun, long range (both F Class and tactical), USPSA Pistol, and hunt (deer, piggies, and waterfowl.) I've been lurking around your site for a little while researching and wanted to verify what I think I've learned.
- NH doesn't have an AWB and won't likely pass one any time soon.
- Suppressors/SBR/SBS/FA are perfectly legal, except for hunting purposes. (I like hunting with a suppressor; oh well. Can't have it all.)
- NH is "shall issue".
- I can shoot/hunt on my private property, so long as it isn't within 300 feet of someone else's property's structure (without permission) or within 25 feet of a road.
- There is no gun registry of any kind.
- No mag limits
- No weird permit requirements to buy ammo.
I do have a few questions, though.
1. Are there any limits on powder storage/quantities for smokeless or black powder?
2. Are 50BMGs ok?
3. What are the better stocked gun shops in southern New Hampshire for both guns and reloading supplies?
4. Are there any weird/unexpected laws I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm really excited to move to a truly free state.
