OK, I did part of the work for you . . .
Got my NH renewal notice in the mail yesterday and had some questions so I took the opportunity to ask for you.
- Every renewal requires a copy of your MA (or other) LTC. If they see ANY RESTRICTIONS, they will NOT issue you a NH NR permit!
- If you have a NON-Restricted license from ANY STATE, they will accept that instead and issue you a NH NR permit!
The lady I spoke with told me that these are the orders from "upstairs" and she has no say in what the orders are (she's just a clerk).
Unless something changed very recently, the non-issuance on a restricted LTC is NOT per NH RSAs. They did this for a while and one of the NH gun orgs got this "corrected" (as it was the "opinion" of one individual in NH SP). The person who had this "fixed" before is a personal friend of mine and gave me the entire run-down on it a while ago.
Looks like someone may have "changed the rules" again and needs another "fixing". Problem is that my friend is currently dealing with some very serious health issues, so I'm not about to bug him about it.
That's why I suggested that those affected by this "rule" contact one or more of the NH orgs and get them to deal with it so that it is "fixed" for everyone.
Also be aware that NH Licensing is running WAY BEHIND (according to the lady I spoke with). You can expect that a renewal or new application is going to take MORE THAN ONE MONTH at this point.
