New Hampshire: Legislation to Fix Handgun Purchase Process Heads to Senate Floor for a Vote

New Hampshire: Legislation to Fix Handgun Purchase Process Heads to Senate Floor for a Vote

On Thursday, the New Hampshire Senate is expected to vote on pro-gun legislation, Senate Bill 141.  Please contact your State Senator and ask them to SUPPORT Senate Bill 141.

Senate Bill 141 resolves New Hampshire’s longstanding problem with delays during handgun purchases, by abolishing the “state gun line” system that the State Police currently use for handgun purchases.  Instead, the process for purchasing a handgun will now mirror buying a long gun, which goes through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).  This switch in the process will not only reduce taxpayer burdens, it will greatly reduce the number of delays experienced by those attempting to exercise their Second Amendment rights by purchasing a handgun.

Again, please contact your State Senator and ask them to SUPPORT Senate Bill 141.​
