  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. No, not without a permit

  3. Yes, but only with a special permit

  4. Yes, but only for residents

The correct answer is: Yes, without any permit

In New Hampshire, it is legal to openly carry a loaded gun in a vehicle without any permit. New Hampshire is an "open carry" state, which means that individuals are allowed to openly carry firearms in most public places, including vehicles, without the need for a permit. It is important for gun owners to familiarize themselves with local laws and regulations regarding firearms, even though a permit is not required for open carry in the state of New Hampshire. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because New Hampshire law allows for the open carry of firearms in a vehicle without the need for a permit, regardless of residency status or any special permits.
