Hello,
I just moved last year to Plaistow, NH and am getting back into shooting in general. I own some smallbore target rifles from back in my competition shooting days, but since moving to NH, im looking to purchase a handgun. My GF is still very resistant, but that can be worked on with time. My question is this:
I live less than 1 mile over the NH border. I have to go through MA to get pretty much anywhere I go, even to locations in NH, due to how the highways are set up. It seems acquring a NH permit to use and transport the handgun is pretty easy, but getting a MA nonresident permit to do the same is a pain and has to be done each year for 100$ per year.
What concerns should I have about this? I doubt i'd even be able to easilly get to most NH gun clubs without crossing the MA border based on my house location, but dont want to be in a world of trouble if I get pulled over on the way.
Am I up a creek? Do I basically need to map out where that border is and simply never, ever cross it with a pistol? Forgive me if this belongs on a different forum.
