| How old does a NH resident have to be to obtain a CCW? I'm 20 right now and I'd like to get a permit to cary this summer. I go to school in WI (no CCW :() but I'd like to be able to carry as soon as I get back to NH for Christmas break. Would I be able to get one this summer? Also, what's the process? I'm having trouble finding this stuff online. Thanks. |
NH Statues are actually silent on age if I recall correctly...much like ME...I got my ME permit when I was 19 and the laws have not changed. So if I were you I would apply. After all you are legally allowed to own a handgun...you just can't buy a handgun from a dealer. The process is VERY simple in NH Fill out a one page application, bring it and $10 down to your local police station, and wait about a couple of days. They will give you a call and tell you to come down and sign your permit and pick it up. They are VERY flimsy and good for 4 years so most people will make a copy, shrink, and laminate them. |
yeah, resident permits are printed on very thin paper that are too large to be carried without reducing or folding. I moved out of NH now I have a non-res and like it MUCH better than the other one |

Joe, try the site packing.org, or look up the RSAs in the NH General Court website. Every RSA in the books is online there. I am not sure why NH still uses the paper CCW permit, but I for one wish they would modernize our permits. It can be a bit akward when you travel to a state with reciprocity with NH, another state that issues a card style permit, and you have to show yours to an LEO. |
