Welcome atek3! I don't know about IPSC, but Pioneer Sportsmen's club in Dunbarton, NH does have an IDPA program and usually hosts monthly matches and the annual New England Regional IDPA match. See: http://www.pioneersportsmen.org/index.htm Dunbarton is probably about an hour, hour and...

Skofnung, As one of our illustrious former Presidents said, "Ah feel your pain." :) Was your wife's Swiss Army Knife the kind with the evil "saw blade"? If so, no doubt the National Park Service was afraid that she might commit an act of terror by literally sawing the Statue of Liberty...

xd9fan: Why not get a New Hampshire non-resident permit -- $20, four years, NO FINGERPRINTS, no training requirement. Straightforward, two page application. According to packing.org, good in 19 states or so (a NH resident permit is valid in a couple more states). Application here...

New Hampshire. Certainly of the Eastern states. But I live here, so I'm somewhat biased. :) Although I will concede that Montana and Wyoming have much to recommend them as well. As for NH gun laws: Shall issue since 1923 (80+ years!) Open carry legal (although not common in the few...

Compared to Cali, either Texas or New Hampshire would be an upgrade to a freer America! As far as gun laws go, NH likely has Texas beat. Owning Class III weaponry is no big deal (assuming you have the money for Class III stuff), and, with the exception of Alaska and neighboring Vermont, CCW...

More unbiased, intelligent journalism from our dear friends at the Boston Globe: From: http://www.boston.com/business/articles/2005/11/30/live_free_and_die/

I beg to differ. I'm always impressed with the hard-hitting, unbiased and intelligently reported stories from New England's preeminent news organization, the Boston Globe. This story is no exception. I commend the journalist for bringing this most important issue to her readers' attention...

Best of luck to you, and stay safe. With regards to water, I personally would take an ample personal supply of good, clean bottled water, even if my employer was supposed to supply me with water. There's nothing like clean drinking water when you're working in oppressive heat and humidity...

Of all the states that require/issue permits, my vote is for New Hampshire. Ten bucks. A one page, single-sided form. No fingerprints (unless YOU request it), no picture, no training requirement. By law, the local police chief has 14 calendar days to either deny (with denials appealable in...

Looks like you've got most of the bases covered, along with the other good suggestions. I would second the idea of extra water, especially travelling to AZ in June. You might also want to carry a couple of spare headlight bulbs, since it sounds like you'll be travelling at night for much of...

Carebear, Good points in your post. Ohio does have that, er, unusual requirement for in-car carry, although Ohio is the exception. In fact, if I recall correctly, in Ohio, simply touching the (openly displayed) gun, even inadvertently with part of your arm, during the stop may get you...

SUE ROVR, For me, my car is both my primary means of escape and my first choice for a weapon if I cannot escape. I consider my handgun a weak backup weapon. Having the gun on the seat raises two issues in my mind. First, I would worry that the weapon will slide off the passenger seat...

Ex-MA, Don't know where your shooting interests lie, but if you have an interest in the use of firearms for self-defense (versus say, competitive target shooting), a group called the NH Tactical Arts Group ("TAG") shoots Monday nights during the winter at the Manchester Firing Line. Their...
