Should I wait until constitutional concealed carry bill passes or go get permit now?

Even when it passes I'll still get it for reciprocity through states that recognize NH resident permit.
Am I missing something? Why would you need it at that point?
If you're talking non-res, it's $100. I'm doing my paperwork tonight and mailing it in tomorrow.
You know there will be legal challenges for a couple of years, and living right next to the state line, I'm back and forth across it all of the time. It's not worth saving the $100 for me to wait.

For the sake of brevity, peruse this thread...especially the last half dozen pages.

He said he wants it for reciprocity, he likely travels to states where the NH P&RL is valid.

Republican control of the NH state government.
Past several times were vetoed by a Democrat governor. This year, a Republican governor who has said he'll sign it is in office. Good chance it'll pass the house and get signed. At least my fingers are crossed.

Handy to have P&R for doing a private sale between two New Hampshirites
It's cheap, is probably a prerequisite to concealed carry in a school zone (e.g. while voting) and it is valid in the many remote US states where New Hampshire has reciprocity.
Since you are a NH resident, I would go ahead and apply.

3 days?!!!?!!! Where I'm at in NH you drop the form, make sure it's completely filled out, and they say come pick it up in 24 hours. Gives the Chief enough time to get to the station and put his Herbie Hancock on it. All they do is run a background check on you, and what does that take, 15-30 minutes at worst when you're buying a pistol/revolver?

Less than 24 hours from drop off to getting the pick-up call for mine in Pelham...
What legal challenges? Like the ones that didn't happen in Maine? There's literally nothing to challenge- the legislators changed the law! (pending final votes/signing) Do I need to post the schoolhouse rock video?
![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
ETA: The only reason to get the permit at this point is:
-The GFSZ thing that Kevin NH mentioned
-Reciprocity (if NH resident, else, this is worthless for everyone else, or pretty nearly so)
-Not sure how the legislature works; there may be a several month delay in enactment of the law like there was in Maine.
If any of those things is a concern, then yeah, apply and get it done.

New republican governor that is on the record EAGER to sign it into law- unlike the last one, who vetoed it twice and there weren't enough votes to override the veto. So the ****in things been passed like 3 times, this time it will stick.

If section 159:14 isn't affected, then for resident's, you may still want to get a license anyway.

Your thinking MA. Where everything requires a legal challenge. Odds are good once signed this is good to go.
As others have said, there is no downside to just getting it now. $10 and less than 24 hours in my case. Even when CC passes, it could be helpful when traveling to certain states.
If you are talking out of state, non-res, then maybe less of a slam-dunk, but probably still worth it if you travel to states that recognize NH permits. Just pay attention, some states that have reciprocity only have it for resident permits.

Don't take this as law, IANAL and do your own research. That being said two state's on this map (from my current understanding) accept resident permit only and are one's I will travel to (Florida and Colorado). In both of these states I feel LESS safe than in my home state, and I would be travelling with my wife and baby.

What I was told yesterday at the hearing is that it will go into effect as soon as it is signed. Just need to get it to the gov's desk.

Do you like carrying in states that require a license and have reciprocity for an out of state citizen that has a resident permit? If so then you will need the p and r......which is why nh is still going to issue them once the law is signed. If you are a home body mama's boy and never leave your town..........f it.......don't get it.

Spend the money on your UTAH permit....better spent money and more reciprocity in more states.
I have my UT non-resident CHL, only carried on it twice in nearly a decade
Compare that to spending around a hundred bucks for Utah (class and $47 application fee), just to add Montana, Nebraska and Nevada.
Non-resident Utah gets you maybe 2 more states, but NH resident is just ten bucks and gets you reciprocity with states which do not accept Utah non-resident: Colorado, Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
