You are completely right Len 2A. If it was MA the letter wouldn't come, but if it did, it would say "it's taking us longer to process your request and as such we require you send more money!"

Received mine today.Submitted 1/20/16, check cashed 2/18/16. Waiting on the license still.
They finally cashed my check today (2/25), so I can expect to receive my renewal within the next 2-4 weeks are likely. [Renewal and check were mailed on 1/23/16, to give others a point of reference.]
Received mine today.
So, mailed 1/20/16
Check hit my bank on 2/18/16
Permit received 2/25/16
May even be faster than that Len. Mine was only a week from check being cashed to permit (new, not renewal) in hand.
I'm sure you're aware that you can cc unloaded (no mag, no round in chamber) or oc out of the car. Yes I know any extra handling increases the odds of an nd.I can hope as mine expires in 3 days, but I'd rather be a pessimist about it and be surprised.
I won't be making any NH trips until I get it, regardless of how long it takes.

Hi All
I was able to talk to someone in the license place in NH.
They said they are were working on applications that they received
on Feb 7th, 2016 as of yesterday. They got mine on the 12th and
said I should have it in one or two weeks. They also said they got
a flood of applications recently and that is why it is taking longer.
Rob ....
So don't hold high hopes to see yours quickly.
I don't expect ANYTHING quickly when it comes to ANY Government office ;-)
It does not bother me if it takes longer. I found out here in another thread that
I can open carry if I want to take it somewhere in NH anyway. Also if I read right
I can CC as long as no mag or ammo in the gun
Rob ....
Thanks for clearing that up ...
Hey can I have like 6 rounds of ammo in my pocket ?
Why I ask this ....
Say I am in MA (where I live) and I happen to want to go shopping .... Shooter's ;-)
Can I empty the gun just before the border and put ammo in my pocket
and continue up to Hooksett and go in store ?
Want to go look at safe's and a holster plus drool/plan on next rifle purchase ... LOL ...
Rob ...
I had the best luck with emailing when I couldnt get through.Does anyone have a phone number for the Licensing Unit that does not just go in a loop of information, where you can actually speak with a human???
The name of the NH State Trooper in charge of Licensing would also work, then I can call the general HQ number and ask to be put thru to his office.
As bill mentioned it cannot be in the firearm. period. it can be in the same pocket as the firearm, but not in the firearm.
I thought I've seen on here several times that if you do not have a NH Non Res - you either have to open carry and can be loaded or concealed carry and not loaded AND no ammo on your person?
Len this is the number I called ... 603-223-3873
I had the best luck with emailing when I couldnt get through.
This morning I called the Col's office and she suggested leaving VM. Instead I found their Fax number and gen'd up a letter with an image of the new, expired license and Faxed it to them. I received an Email apology an hour later and she said that she is mailing out a replacement today.
A big pain but at least they are fixing it. If this was mass they would probably tell you to fill out a renewal application and submit it with another hundred....lol
Well, I received the new license yesterday. Immediately headed North for some shopping and contributed quite a bit to Nashua and Hudson's economy. Nothing related to firearms however.
Not quite if MA and this happened (it did once), I was in the face of my chief at that time to get it fixed after I had spoken to MSP (who did issue them back then) to clarify what my chief had to do. The chief wasn't happy with me, but he fixed the problem of his creation. If the identical (to NH) problem happened to me today, since it was an obvious error in printing, I would have been on the phone with Michaela to get it corrected and I would have had the same level of service as I did from NH but without the frustrating VM jail NH has setup (I have direct numbers for Michaela).
