NH considers 'no-permit' gun bill

(GunReports.com) — New Hampshire residents would no longer have to obtain licenses to carry concealed weapons under a bill a key House committee voted for last week.

By a vote of 12-5, the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee recommended passage of House Bill 536, which allows anyone but convicted felons and the mentally ill to carry pistols openly or concealed, loaded or unloaded, without a permit.

The bill continues the current permitting system so gun owners can produce a state permit in other states that have agreements in place that recognize them.

Gun rights advocates said the bill, amended from its original version, preserves the important points they hoped to win.

“This does the one thing we believe is most important, and that is it makes a license to carry optional,” said James Wheeler, treasurer of the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition.

“We believe the Constitution is an individual license to carry,” he added.

Current law requires local law enforcement to make a decision on a license with 14 days of an application. Denials can be appealed to the local district court, where police and the individual present their arguments.

The committee also passed a bill that makes it more difficult for towns to pass ordinances regarding gun use and possession.

HB 334 bars gun bans on any public property. HB 536 also makes it easier for anyone to sell pistols and revolvers to licensed dealers, state residents or anyone they know.

The bill as it was originally filed by Rep. J.R. Hoell, R-Dunbarton, ended a ban on guns in courtrooms, called for the arrest of police chiefs who denied permits to someone unless they were a convicted felon, and made it a crime for police to stop someone carrying without a permit.

Wow. They stripped out the original "extreme language" which included slingshots as a right to carry item. Now THERE is something far more dangerous than a gun!! You could put your eye out with one of those things....

As for blackjacks and knucks, I don't see why those aren't permitted everywhere. They're only dangerous to someone you can punch anyway, so either you're the aggressor and should be subject to arrest for using them, or you're defending yourself and there's little question the other guy was a threat if he's that damned close. The only question is who was the aggressor, and if it was 'the other guy' then these weapons should be OK to use, as should any handy weapon when somebody gets withing fist distance. Although, there WAS no mention of razors....

Yeah, guys, it never really made much sense to me that it's OK to carry a handgun, but if one carries a big knife or a big club or baton, there's gonna be trouble with the law. We Texans have been licensed for concealed carry since January 1996, but it is still illegal to carry a club, baton, or a large knife. It doesn't keep me from carrying them, though, but it still is a mystery as to why the laws are written as they are. I'd guess I'd best be real careful, since I wouldn't want to get into trouble and lose my CHL, because I had a sap in my pocket.
