NH Supreme Court invalidates concealed-carry rules for out-of-staters
CONCORD — The state Department of Safety exceeded its legal authority when it imposed new rules for nonresidents seeking a license to carry a concealed gun in New Hampshire, according to a ruling of the state Supreme Court Thursday.
The rules, which took effect in 2013, require non-residents asking New Hampshire police for a concealed carry permit to prove that they have a permit in their home state.
New Jersey resident Scott L. Bach appealed a decision of the New Hampshire Superior Court, which issued a summary judgment in favor of the Department of Safety and its new rule.
