Is a permit required to carry a concealed handgun in New Hampshire?

  1. Yes, for all individuals

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for non-residents

  4. Yes, but there are exceptions for certain areas

The correct answer is: No

In New Hampshire, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. New Hampshire is classified as a constitutional carry state, which means that individuals who are not prohibited from possessing a firearm may openly carry a handgun, and those who are not federally prohibited from having a firearm may carry a concealed handgun without a permit. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required in certain circumstances or for certain individuals, which is not the case in New Hampshire.
