Non-Resident looking to make a New England road trip and curious about pistol laws.

I'm thinking about making a road trip this summer. I'm in NY and I'm going through Vermont and New Hampshire to get to Maine. Probably looping around Maine and coming back.

I don't *need* to bring my handgun and lilkely won't, but I thought it would be interesting to find out what the legalities are like in those three states. Yes I know the information is online. I understand some of it but not other bits, so I'm asking here.

From what I see on line, none of those states require a permit to carry.

Right but there's conflicting information from what I found anyway it's that none of them require a permit for residences of that state since I'm not going to be a resident of those States I thought maybe the rules would be different.

I live in Alabama but visit Vermont once a year if I can. Vermont does not require a permit at all and I carry at will. Just make sure you have a firearm that complies with their new magazine ban: 15 round limit in handguns.

In many ways, New Hampshire is similar to Vermont. When it comes to guns they are better. No permit required and they don't have a silly magazine restriction. And Maine is the same.

When I looked, I didn't see anything about non residents being banned. If there's no law prohibiting, then it seems to be okay.

Awesome y'all. Thanks for the confirmation. Since I'm in NY I only have 10rnd.mags anyway so I should be good.

do not randomly decide to change your trip and carry in MA without a permit

I have 0 reason ever to go to MA. Except maybe to see the Dropkick Murphys play on St. Paddy's day.

Avoid going through N.J. too. Nasty things can and do happen there when it comes to guns.
