Can firearms be carried openly in New Hampshire without a permit?

  1. Yes, without any restrictions

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only in rural areas

  4. Yes, but not in cities or towns

The correct answer is: Yes, without any restrictions

In New Hampshire, individuals are legally allowed to openly carry firearms in most public places without obtaining a permit, including in cities and towns. Therefore options B, C, and D are incorrect. However, it is important to note that there are certain restrictions and regulations that must be followed when carrying a firearm in New Hampshire, regardless of whether or not a permit is required. These include not carrying a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, not carrying a firearm into certain buildings, and not openly carrying a loaded firearm in a vehicle without a valid permit. It is always important to educate oneself on the laws and regulations surrounding firearms in any state.
