Remind me again about non resident carry without NH carry license.

[IvIax]

I have a utah license which seems falls in reciprocity.
A non-resident of New Hampshire holding a current and valid license to carry a loaded handgun in the state in which he or she resides is not required to obtain a license to carry a loaded handgun within New Hampshire if he or she carries the license from his or her home state on his or her person, and that state provides a reciprocal privilege for residents of New Hampshire.

But last time I checked with you guys, someone told me as a non resident without a NH license, I can't have a loaded handgun in my car while traveling. I have to unloaded it first. Right?

Regardless of where you live, including NH. For residents it cost $10, for non - res., $100

New Hampshire does not recognize any non-resident CHL. Only home-state issued.

Call our Governor and ask her to sign SB 116.

New Hampshire does not recognize any non-resident CHL, will honor your MA-LTC the day that MA accepts our P&R.

You can have your handgun on your person, [thread=262815]magazine out and chamber empty[/thread], and be in compliance even in a vehicle. You can open carry when not in a motor vehicle.

Our Governor is an ass. But just to be sure, I can have an unloaded pistol in my car right?

Yes.

This may be a stupid question but if I have an MA LTC B with restrictions, will I be approved for a non resident LTC in NH? The app says this:
"A copy (front & back) of your valid concealed carry license issued by the state, county, or town in which you reside." Thanks in advance for your response.

MA LTC B with restrictions

Dang, talk about double whammys.

Dang, talk about double whammys.

Tell me about it. I got it from Peabody when I was 23. It expires next year and I'm in a green town now but they told me I need to wait 6 months before expiration to renew for class A.

I wonder if you could get Peabody to expire it early so that you could apply for a Class A in your new town. You might have an easier time getting them to expire it if you tell them you are getting into competitions that use pre-ban high cap handguns, rather than telling them you wish to carry concealed.

Might not be a bad idea, I'll look into it to see if thats a possibility. To be honest, it may not be worth the time/aggravation with only 6 months left.

New Hampshire will approve you

This may be a stupid question but if I have an MA LTC B with restrictions, will I be approved for a non resident LTC in NH? The app says this:
"A copy (front & back) of your valid concealed carry license issued by the state, county, or town in which you reside." Thanks in advance for your response.

[thread=232662]There was a brief period during which NH State Police were confused about LTC-A with restrictions[/thread], but that has since been resolved. However, I am unsure if LTC-B counts as an LTC under the rules laid out in [thread=227695]Saf-C 2102.03[/thread]?

License Required.
(a) For the purposes of this section, “resident state license” means a license to carry a pistol or revolver concealed in the state where the applicant resides.
(b) No nonresident license shall be issued unless the applicant provides a copy of the applicant’s resident state license, or unless the applicant displays, for verification, a resident state license.

Given that A person with a Class B license is forbidden to carry “concealed and loaded on a public way”, is an LTC-B really a LTC as given above?

I was just down in NH for my Utah training and was told by a NH instructor you can have a loaded gun in your car without a permit. That isnt the way the law reads to me, since I have to go down to NH often I just applied for a permit there. I think they give them to anyone as long as they hold a permit.

If you have a Res Utah permit you can use it in NH but not a non Res Utah permit

I don't see how an instructor could read RSA 159:4 "No person shall carry a loaded pistol or revolver in any vehicle ... without a valid license...." and make that statement about New Hampshire law.

Utah is different, Utah state law 76-10-505 allows adult citizens to carry a loaded handgun in a vehicle, no license required.

I think they give them to anyone as long as they hold a permit.

New Hampshire's Non-resident Pistol and Revolver licenses are issued by NH state police, a prerequisite is a resident carry license from your home state. It is rare for an applicant with a clean record to be denied a license by the state police.

If you have a Res Utah permit you can use it in NH but not a non Res Utah permit

Correct. NH RSA 159:6-d automatically provides reciprocity to resident permits from any state which recognizes NH resident P&R Licenseholders, this includes Utah.

Yes, I won't try to carry a loaded gun in NH. That instructor can screw you up big time.
