CCW Reciprocity for Vermonters?

[Vermonter]

Since I live in Vermont, I don't need a permit to carry concealed.

But I wonder about reciprocity in other states.

The states I wonder about the most are NH and NY. I know NH has reciprocity, I assume NY does not? I want to do some multi-day hiking in those states and am planning on getting a .357 Mag, .41 Mag, or .44 Mag revolver for bear protection. Would prefer to carry concealed so I dont scare the hippies.

Anybody know any info? I assume I should write some official in any states I plan to CCW in to check with them, and keep a copy of the response with me, but I figured I'd get a few ideas here to start.

Any comments on NH and NY laws in general would be welcomed.

Thanks for any info!

When I inquired, I was given to understand that Vermonters wishing to obtain a non-resident CCW in New Hampshire need a letter from their local police chief attesting to their good character. There's no "reciprocity" since there's no permitting system in Vermont.

SOL in NY my friend. Cannot even possess a handgun without a permit. Which you cannot get since you aren't a resident.

What's the penalty for posession in NY? I assume concealed is worse? What about transporting in a vehicle?

What about posessing a rifle or shotgun? Maybe I'll just sling one on my pack and if any hippies have a problem with it I'll tell them why...... Or perhaps have a carbine inside the pack....

Or maybe I'll just stick to VT and NH The 'dacks sure are nice though.

Screw the bears, worry about the people. I've seen some scary folks in the Eastern NY Adirondacks foothills area when making a rest stop there some 10+ years ago, so I can imagine that weirdos can be found in the back country as well.

NY gives you a bullet to the back of the head, like most other communist despotisms for violating their laws; the best you can hope for is 25 years at hard labor on a diet of black bread and cabbage soup.

My GSD keeps most weirdos at bay. And I'm 6'4", 220 lbs

But if neither of those deters them it's trouble.

I guess I could call it a "hunting trip" and keep to those seasons.........
