Firearm Laws in New Hampshire
New Hampshire has very lenient gun laws. It is a constitutional carry state - legal carrying of a handgun is permitted without a license or permit. There is no gun registration, no background checks, and you do not have to obtain a permit to carry openly. There is, however, a state requirement to possess a concealed weapons permit. There is no legal requirement to notify a police office that you are carrying a concealed firearm, no magazine limits or ammunition restrictions. Still, it would be illegal to carry a concealed and loaded firearm on your person or in a vehicle.
New Hampshire is a shall-issue state which means that the granting of a concealed handgun license is subject only to meeting criteria determined by law, and the granting authority does not have discretion in providing citizens with licenses. Additionally, revolver/pistol licenses are issued to residents and non-residents alike for reciprocity purposes. There is no need to be fingerprinted or photographed for these licenses. New Hampshire firearm laws do not require firearm license applicants to demonstrate knowledge of firearms safety, for example, by undergoing gun safety training. Basically, any individual 18 years of age and older can legally possess a firearm in New Hampshire.
