Misc New Hampshire Non-Resident Pistol Permit

Has anyone recently applied for a non-resident pistol permit out of New Hampshire? I know they were issuing them to Canadians years ago, but when I reached out, I was told to contact them again at a later date because their legal department is doing some sort of review.

Yes - I’ve been waiting for about a year. When I spoke with them, they gave the same explanation. They are reviewing whether or not to continue issuing permits for non-residents. The lady I spoke with was unable to give me any sort of timeline as to when the final decision would be made, but she did mention that they were keeping all of the applications and that they would be reviewed in the order they were received if the final decision was that they would resume issuing non-resident permits.

Ohhhhh, I sent in my application 2 months ago and was hoping to get the permit by October. That does not bode well.

Maybe someone with your level of YouTube fame can put some pressure on them!

Just called and confirmed: it's still in legal on whether to issue them to non-residents. I wish they had put that on the webpage so I didn't send them a $100 USD cashier's cheque.
