Hello all, it's been a while since I have been on here. I have a question regarding the legality of being a Maine resident and having a gun in NH. I am 21, and I will be getting my CCW from Maine (which is, as stated, my home). I read through the NH gov articles on non-residency carry and it seems as long as I have my license from Maine first it should not be that big of an issue getting one in NH. However, I was also told from another source that if you are out of state you CANNOT keep a gun in NH...? (Furthermore, if I don't plan to carry concealed do I even need a permit?)
The reason for this question is because I attend college in NH and I enjoy target shooting quite a bit, but the closest range to my school is the Manchester Firing Line (they rent, since I don't currently own a gun it's really my only option). However, shooting at a range like that can get very expensive, so I have been looking into getting my own gun for the range (they were the ones who told me I could not bring an out of state gun). I am not worried about carrying in concealed (the reason for a CCW for me would be ease of transportation) and I have no problem keeping it unloaded and locked until use. I was hoping somebody on here could tell me if it is indeed ok for me to be out of state and have a gun instate.
Sorry for how long winded this post is, not sure how else to ask what I wish to. Thank you all for your time.
