Great news. This would be the best part:

With New Hampshire and Vermont combining to make a block of Constitutional Carry states in the middle of New England, it upgrades a toehold into a foothold in one of the most anti-2nd Amendment regions in the country. Were Maine to border a Constitutional Carry State backed up by another Constitutional State, gun friendly Maine might very well get on board as well.

Effectively cutting New England in half. Between liberty loving Northern New England, and freedom hating Southern New England.

Any idea how the hearing went today?

There will be a hearing on SB 116 this Thursday, January 29 at 1PM in Representatives Hall in the New Hampshire State House.

" liberty loving northern new england and the freedom hateing southern new england".

Hahah that cracks me up. I've lived in Maine for the last 20 years, I know Maine has a large hunting community but I wouldn't ellude that the 2nd amendment fight is won in Maine.

tacxted - We in Maine also have two Constutitional Carry Bills in process right now.

The National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR) has a petition going I encourage you and your framily/friends to sign.

Think the feds are gearing up to start enforcing the GFSZ with all this permit-less carry going on?

Police officers are showing up to testify against the NH bill... on the public's time.

The bill will probably pass the House and Senate, but the Democratic governor will veto.

As a former NH resident and frequent visitor, I've been following this story with interest. I seem to recall that the last time this got shot down, it was due to the relative ease of obtaining a permit (that is, not a substantial burden). I certainly didn't think $20 for four years was a big deal, especially considering I got my permit in five business days.

However, as a non-resident, I was irked to learn that our permits went up to $100. I let mine lapse, since I usually visit the northern part of the state and open carry is legal without a permit. My routine is to pull over at the first rest stop on Route 91 in VT, get my weapon out of the trunk, and carry on.

Anyway, constitutional carry would be useful for a non-resident so I support the measure. It would be nigh impossible to claim that the practice has caused any problems in Vermont.
