It's been just over three weeks since the submission of my Pistol/Revolver application. I called the NH State Police Permits & Licensing unit since their FAQ says to feel free to call them if you don't hear or receive anything within three weeks.
They said that it is taking up to eight weeks to process applications at this time. It's not a problem for me because I won't be visiting until later in the summer/fall. Hopefully it won't take *that* long.
Apparently there have been an overwhelming number of applications. And no matter that the law says "14 days", if they can't get them done in time, they can't get them done in time.
I wonder if it's the fact that some states will honor non-resident NH licenses for concealed carry that is driving the high number of applications to New Hampshire? Or if there is also a growing demand for resident licenses in NH?
Does anyone foresee the New Hampshire legislature changing their policy of issuing non-resident licenses in the future? Or changing the concealed handgun laws in any other way in response to the high demand and longer than 14-day wait times?
