Can local governments enact their own gun control laws in New Hampshire?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only with state approval

  4. Yes, but only in cities with populations over 50,000

The correct answer is: No

Currently, New Hampshire state law preempts local government from enacting their own gun control laws. This means that no local government may pass laws or regulations regarding the use of firearms that are more restrictive than state law. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that local governments can enact their own gun control laws, which is not the case in New Hampshire.
