So I take it NH doesn't recognize the MA LTC (Why should they, we don't recognize a firearms license from any other state) ?

You are correct.

New Hampshire has automatic reciprocity -- as soon as any state recognizes our license, we automatically recognize theirs.

Drives me nuts.. I live in right on the border...so close, can practically smell the freedom. Might as well be China.

As for why NH and ME can't get their mojo working, I have no clue.

Maine law requires training- NH's does not therefore Maine will not recognize NH's license. Since Maine won't accept NH's, NH won't accept Maine's....

Don't you have to take the training every 5 years too? I read the application and they won't accept any training certificate if it is older than 5 years.

Sorry don't know. Is a renewal taken as a "new" application- in that all prior requirements must be met?

I'd just like to point out that no one in NH is going to call the police because they see you carrying a gun. Just carry the damn thing and breathe some non-Mass air.

Not entirely true.

I was open carrying on Sunday, and Gunner30 heard someone behind me say "Well, we're definitely not in MA anymore". No shrieks or calls to the police.

If this is a renewal of a permit issued by the Maine State Police and you have previously submitted our military discharge, birth certificate or proof of knowledge of handgun safety, you are not required to submit these materials again.
