Finally warm weather shooting. (Jaffrey: credit, attorney, home)

[sgthoskins]

Finally the weather is nice again and I got out with some friends.

Start out with 6" steel plates at 15 yards with some mag reloads at slide lock.












Weak hand AR shooting at 100 on 8" steel.



Back to pistol.






Finish with some strong side AR at 100.

Thats awesome! Where in NH is that range? Have the gun laws changed at all in NH? Or any changes on the way? I hope all is fine there.

Are there many outdoor ranges in NH?

Thanks for the awesome photos!

[sgthoskins]

The range is Monadnock in Jaffrey.

Laws are still the same with the exception of the sheep getting scared and trying to ban firearms from the state house.

There are a lot of outdoor ranges in NH.

Gotta love that XD Sarge!

I hardchromed my slide for CCW, meaning no rust from summer carry!

[Positiveone]

So are the CCW laws the same from county to county in all of NH? Or do some counties have Anti-gun laws in NH?

What exactly does the CCW class cost and consist of?

Thanks

New Hampshire Laws Relative to License to Carry
These statutes can be found at RSA 159:6 et seq. and may be accessed at any legal library or at http://www.nh.gov
Salient points are provided below:
· License to carry is required to carry a loaded pistol or revolver in a motor vehicle or to carry a concealed,
loaded pistol or revolver.
· NH residents obtain their license from the Selectmen of their town or the Mayor or Chief of Police of a city
or some fulltime
police officer designated by them respectively, upon application.
· Nonresidents
must apply to the Director of State Police for their license.
· It must appear that the applicant has good reason to fear injury to their person or property or has any proper
purpose and that the applicant is a suitable person to be licensed. Hunting, target shooting or selfdefense
shall be considered a proper purpose. The license is allowable for all proper purposes regardless of the one
for which it was issued.
· Applicants not prohibited under federal or NH law from possession of a firearm shall be deemed suitable
persons and the license shall be issued unless the applicant is so prohibited from possessing a firearm. The
burden is on the licensing entity to prove by clear and convincing proof that the applicant is so prohibited
from possessing a firearm.
· The license is in duplicate, with one copy retained by the issuing entity, and bears the name, address,
description and signature of the licensee. No photograph or fingerprint shall be required or used as a basis
to grant, deny or renew a license unless requested by the applicant.
· Licenses expire at midnight on the anniversary of the holder’s date or birth no less than 4 years from the
date of issue, with March 2 the expiration for persons born on February 29. Licenses may be suspended or
revoked if the person is no longer deemed a suitable person or is prohibited from possessing a firearm by
federal or NH law. The licensee may appeal a suspension or revocation within 7 days to the issuing
authority.
· Licenses must be issued or denied within 14 days of application, and if denied, the reason shall be stated in
writing and delivered to the applicant within 14 days, with a copy kept by the denying authority. The
applicant may appeal a denial within 30 days to the District Court in the jurisdiction in which the person
resides, and the court shall hold a hearing within 14 days.
· License fees are $10 for residents, for the use of the local law enforcement department, and $20 for nonresidents,
for the use of the State.
· No forms other than the one prescribed and issued by the Director of State Police may be used for the
application and issuance of licenses.
· If a resident license holder moves to another community, he or she shall notify in writing the licensing
authority in his or her new place of residence that he or she has a current license, and the license shall
remain in effect until it would otherwise expire.
· Licensing entities who withhold a license in violation of the law are liable for reasonable attorney’s fees and
costs incurred in any lawsuit to enforce the provisions of this chapter if the court finds the suit was
necessary in order to force compliance and the law was knowingly violated.
· Full faith and credit is given to nonresidents with licenses from their home states only in cases where New
Hampshire and that state have provided reciprocal privileges.
· Federal law allows current peace officers from any of the 50 states and peace officers who retired in good
standing and are not otherwise barred by state or federal law to carry concealed handguns in New
Hampshire provided they carry suitable credentials to prove their status with them whenever carrying
concealed, and further provided that they have passed periodic firearms qualification courses acceptable by
their states. Current or retired peace officers should carry their official identification at such times.
· No license is required for New Hampshire peace officers to carry a concealed and loaded weapon on or offduty.
Officers should carry their official identification at such times.


I took my CCw class back in jersey, where we could not CCW as a citizen.

You look hot in that shirt, you been working out?

NH is real easy to get a carry permit. My non resident took 2 weeks. I sent a photocopy of my CT permit & $100 and two weeks later had a NH permit.
Also you only need a permit for concealed carry. I have a camp up there & the only reason I bothered with the permit was so I could carry in a vehicle.

Looks like fun sgthoskins, its been nice enough to shoot outside here for awhile if you dont mind the mud. I'll be headed up there in about an hour, the kids are off school this week and a few days in the northern NH woods is better than hanging out here by a long shot.

The goal of the NH CCW permit application is so that the police can do a criminal background/prohibited person/national agency check on you as well as contact your references if they so desire.

It makes for a very streamlined/simple process (easy for law abiding citizens), but it still has all of the necessary checks/balances to make sure that prohibited individuals don't get to legally carry conceiled.
