So I was born and raised in NH (specifically the towns of Belmont and Canterbury in Belknap County), but was never introduced to firearms until I moved to FL for college. I am going to be visiting NH for Thanksgiving and wanted to just make sure my understanding of NH firearms law is current.
(I am now a resident of FL and I have my CWP/CWL, which is recognized/reciprocated by NH.)
These are things i currently believe to be true about NHs Firearm Laws. feel free to correct me.
Open Carry is legal without a permit
Concealed Carry (for me) is legal with my FL resident permit
You cannot concealed carry in a car without a CWP/CWL
You cannot open carry in/on school property
You can concealed carry on school property with a CWP/CWL
The only place restricted by the STATE from concealed carrying is a courthouse, but obviously all federally restricted places are still off limits, such as post offices, and any other federal buildings.
I believe this is the most updated statute on firearms law regarding pistols and such.
--UPDATE--
I re-read 159:4 Carrying Without License and now see it only specifies carrying a LOADED pistol in a vehicle, or concealed.
