Committee Rejects Bill To Eliminate Concealed-Weapons Permits

A New Hampshire House committee is taking aim at a plan to do away with any requirements for carrying a concealed weapon in the state.

By a vote of 16 to 3, the House Criminal Justice Committee rejected a plan to eliminate concealed-weapons permits in New Hampshire. The bill will still go to the full House with a negative recommendation from the committee.

A number of committee members are former and current police officers, and they expressed concerns about public safety and an influx of guns from out of state.

This is the bill that would have given New Hampshire Vermont-style (permitless) concealed-carry. Since it goes to the full House anyways, I don't think this particular vote means much. But I'm watching closely regardless. If you live in New Hampshire, pay attention.
