New Hampshire on the Verge of Passing Constitutional Carry

(There are a number of pro gun stories today making the rounds including South Dakota trying to pass a Constitutional Carry, as well as Virgina, now New Hampshire. Kansas trying to modify the laws to allow carrying in places currently off limits)

New Hampshire on the Verge of Passing Constitutional Carry

-- House-passed bill to be voted on in the Senate soon

"New Hampshire could soon become one of the most pro-gun states in the country – a sanctuary where the Constitution is paramount and Americans don’t need the government’s permission to exercise their God-given rights. Hoellsign....The bill is House Bill 536, sponsored by Representative J. R. Hoell, and it has already passed the House"

Open carry is already legal there.

Don't you still have to have a permit for concealed carry in NH?

 

[Birch Knoll]

The last I heard, the Governor was expected to veto the bill.

If it passes you won't need a conceal carry permit to carry concealed...unless you want one for reciprocity.

Tomorrow it's being heard in the senate and I plan on going to Concord to see it. HB536 is not the only pro-gun bill being heard tomorrow. There is also 194 (allows carry of a loaded but unchambered long gun in a vehicle) and 334 (prevents any state entity from prohibting carry such as the state house and even Colleges). Also the house is going to hear HB1246 which allows people to get a Pistol Permit (NH CCW) from the Sheriff or State Police which is great new to me since my City's Police Chief doesn't give permits to those under 21.

I also just found out that HB1220 is going to help us, it's better explained here: http://pgnh.org/legislative_alert_support_hb1220_at_hearing_tomorrow

Looks as though tomorrow is a pretty Pro-Gun day especially if our representatives agree with us.

The last I heard, the Governor was expected to veto the bill.

He said it himself, hopefully we will be able to override Lynch's Veto.

I work with a state rep here in NH. He says the republicans have so much control over both houses the governor is not an issue. His veto will be overridden.

The House vote was less than a veto-proof 2/3rds. If it gets vetoed, they'll have to do better yet.
