Wow, only one mention of NH...
We have shall issue with a very good appeals process if they deny you for whatever reason (by statute, they have 14 days to approve or deny, with reason for denial in writing, and you have the right to appeal it, court MUST hear your case within 14 days), and it costs $10 for residents and $20 for non-residents (and no fingerprinting or photographing, by statute). Now, the dems are trying to change that as part of their occupation campaign (we're in for one hell of a fight up here), but there is a pretty well established independent streak here, that whole "Live free or die" thing.
No waiting periods for anything. I'm not too sure on the NFA culture here, but there's a range down the street from me that rents out SMG's, so it can't be THAT bad for NFA stuff. Lots of good ranges and places to shoot, well established hunting culture, and it seems everyone I know has a gun SOMEWHERE in the house. Even people I NEVER would have thought to be owners.
We also have the second lowest tax burden in the country (though we're also in a desperate fight right now over that, the state supreme court thinks they have jurisdiction over schooling, which has traditionally been controlled strictly at the local level, and the commun... I mean Democratic party wants to dump "the pledge" and institute all kinds of new taxes, including a 13% sales tax that would utterly destroy NH's economy).
So we're embattled right now, but I think we can overcome the socialist morons and prevail. I would personally give NH an F on the Brady scale. Unfortunately, we're surrounded by socialists... (Maine and VT have more taxes than us, and VT DID send Bernie "Socialist" Sanders to the Senate)
