This seems strange to me. Check out the statement from the Court below.

have a CCW in the first place ? Sorry, I guess I'm missing the boat, but
this seems like a pretty goofy conclusion to me.

Look at this. Does this sound weird or am I mis-reading it..?CONCORD — The state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the state Constitution's right to bear arms can be restricted and regulated.
"As numerous courts in other states have recognized with respect to their state constitutional right to bear arms ... the New Hampshire state constitutional right to bear arms 'is not absolute and may be subject to restriction and regulation'," the court ruled.
The court ruled in the case of Edward Bleiler of Dover who sued after the police chief revoked his concealed weapons permit. Bleiler's lawyer said they may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The case arose from an incident at Dover City Hall in March 2006, when Bleiler displayed a loaded handgun in the city attorney's office. Bleiler did not threaten anyone, and said he used the gun as a prop to tell a story.
How is this reasonable ? If the public knows about a weapon, then why"The statute has a reasonable purpose, it protects the public by preventing an individual from having on hand a (loaded) deadly weapon of which the public is unaware," the court said.
