New Hampshire: Constitutional/Permitless Carry Legislation Successfully Voted Out of Committee
Wednesday, February 1, 2017
Today, Senate Bill 12, legislation eliminating the requirement to obtain a permit in order to lawfully carry, was successfully voted out of the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee with a 12-8 vote. SB 12 will now go to the House floor for consideration by the full House of Representatives. Please contact your state Representative and urge them to vote in favor of this critical legislation! Please click the “Take Action” button below to contact you state Representative.
Sponsored by Senator Jeb Bradley (R-3), SB 12 would repeal the license requirement to carry a concealed pistol or revolver, unless a person is otherwise prohibited. For those who choose to obtain licenses, SB 12 would also increase the length of time in which a license is valid.
In New Hampshire, existing state law recognizes the right of any citizen who can legally own and possess a firearm to carry it openly, either loaded or unloaded, anywhere in the state not prohibited by law. However, if a firearm becomes covered by a coat or if a woman prefers to carry a firearm for protection in her purse, he or she would need a concealed carry handgun license. The proposed legislation would extend permitless open carry to permitless concealed carry, allowing law-abiding gun owners to protect themselves and their loved ones in the manner that best suits their needs.
