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

  1. Yes, for residents and non-residents

  2. No

  3. Yes, but only for non-residents

  4. Yes, for residents only

The correct answer is: No

In New Hampshire, a permit is not required to carry a concealed handgun. This is known as constitutional carry, where individuals who are not otherwise prohibited from owning firearms can carry a concealed handgun without a permit. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest that a permit is required in some form either for residents, non-residents, or both. In New Hampshire, the lack of a permit requirement applies to all individuals who are legally allowed to carry firearms.
