NH Non-Res LTC Help

[Eric]

When applying for my NH Non-res license you must state a reason why you're applying for it. Any suggestions for what reasons to state, is for self protection a sufficient reason to them?

 

[soloman02]

Any reason you want of the available ones is fine.

Just pick "Self Defense" and be done with it.

This is NH, no need to worry about what reason to pick as all reasons are valid regardless of what reason you chose on the application.

Read the instructions on the back/2nd page.

A license to carry a loaded handgun may be issued for PROTECTION or ALL PROPER PURPOSES. One or more of these reasons must be noted on the application, in the space provided for reason(s) for which you make application to carry a pistol in New Hampshire.

Read the instructions on the back/2nd page.

just did mine in Sept...like Exodious stated, follow the directions and put "All Proper Purposes"

 

[sharona]

all lawful purposes

 

[Bonesinium]

Direct from the RSA governing them:

" Hunting, target shooting, or self-defense shall be considered a proper purpose. The license shall be valid for all allowable purposes regardless of the purpose for which it was originally issued."

So you could put anything really.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

It gives you the reasons on the back.

Read the instructions on the back/2nd page.

This. I put All Proper Purposes.

 

[grizquad]

Just like above guys said, and follow directions, and you will have it in less than 30 days.

Read the instructions on the back/2nd page.

This. I wrote exactly what the back suggested. Took less than two weeks for mine to come in.

I always get concerned when someone's reading comprehension is poor enough to completely miss what it basically say to do right in the directions on the form!!!

Yes, because the instructions on forms are always both very clear and always accurate. As it turns out, the instructions that are given in regards to what is being discussed is worded differently than the actual NH RSA (law) governing the issuance of pistol licenses.

He just has a case of "BashedMassitas"....when you've been pummeled so badly by a communist state that you expect the same no matter what state you deal with. I'll give him a pass.

 

[invaliduser]

I put all proper purposes as stated on the back
Easy peasy.

 

[turbo89]

I wrote "All Lawful Purposes" and got it in under a week...

 

[Kevin_NH]

I was tempted to write ""All Purposes" just to see if they'd reject it.

Since I doubt they read that far down, you could probably get away with writing ""All Purposes" in that space

 

[Eric]

I wasn't sure if what it was saying on the 1st page was what I should put down since it was so obvious.

 

[random0627]

all lawful purposes. took about 9 months to get my mass LTC, same amount of days to get NH. YMMVA

Honestly, if they revise the form, they should just get rid of it. It's really a waste of three seconds.

 

[Kevin_NH]

...or has any proper purpose...self-defense shall be considered a proper purpose.

Honestly, if they revise the form, they should just get rid of it. It's really a waste of three seconds.

Based on the rulemaking around RSA 159:6, I don't know that they can eliminate the field on the form without a change to the law.

In theory, you could be denied because you filled in the field with an improper purpose.

 

[drgrant]

I dare someone to write "Zombies" in that field. Like people used to do on ATF Form 1.
