I have a friend who lives in Jaffrey. She just went to the PD and got her application form. It is not the form I got in Rindge 18 months ago and it requires information that I understood to be unlawful to request in the process of applying for a P&R.
It is requiring 3 references, occupation, employer information, and what really sets me off... A 'reason to make application to carry a pistol in New Hampshire.' When I applied I clearly remember researching the process and reading that if your town required any of this nonsense that you should refuse and insist that the correct forms and process be used. Has the form changed? I definitely didn't need references or anything like that and I certainly didn't need to state a reason for application.
Additionally the PD gave her the "application" but told her to deliver it to the town hall for processing. Since when was this not handled through the PD? Can someone shed some light on what is lawful here? If Jaffrey is imposing illegal measures on their application I'm going to recommend to my friend that she fight it and not go along with their whimsical rules.
