A license is no longer required to carry hidden loaded guns in New Hampshire.
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu has signed legislation removing the licensing requirement for carrying concealed firearms. A representative from the National Rifle Association says that makes New Hampshire the 12th state that doesn't require a license or permit.
Now anyone who isn't prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a gun can carry it concealed without a license. The previous law gave police chiefs and local officials the discretion to decide if someone was 'suitable' to carry a gun concealed.
Supporters say the bill restores gun owners' constitutional rights. But opponents worry it will allow dangerous people to carry hidden guns. https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2017/02/22/residents-longer-need-license-carry-concealed-loaded-guns/jEhFEw6HhHcxfyAVfxw8VO/story.html |
