It seems that processing is taking as long as three months - apparently they are overloaded. Have heard/seen the same response on other forums.

And as a little bit of surprise info:
"New Hampshire doesn’t require you to have a license or a permit to buy or own guns,
with one exception: if you buy a handgun (not a rifle or shotgun) from a private party — as opposed to a licensed dealer — then by state law (RSA 159:10 and RSA 159:14)
you must either have a License to Carry or be “personally known” to the seller."

Wrong citation. The
resident license is still only $10, and processing
must be complete within 14 days. Why would I care about the
non-resident fee or processing time? Neither affect me, and the question was about "good" state gun laws. Do the non-resident VA requirements keep you awake at night, or affect you in any way? It's all about how hard it is to get a
resident license, as well as the limitations upon same.
As to the private sale, there is no statutory definition of "personally known to the seller," which means this transaction is perfectly within the law:
ScottNH: Hi, my name's ScottNH
GrapehotNH: Hi, I'm GrapeshotNH. Here. Have money.
ScottNH: Pleased to meet you GrapshotNH. Here. Havegun.
Not particularly onerous.
