Some good news for people who want to carry firearms concealed or otherwise in the “Live Free or Die” state.
The New Hampshire House of Representatives has voted 200-97 to pass a bill that will allow constitutional carry in the state. Passing the House was the last major step to getting the bill passed.
Last month the New Hampshire state Senate, passed the bill in a 13-10 vote.
The Governor, Chris Sununu who is a Republican, has said he will sign the bill into law. A similar bill was passed by the state legislature the last two years but was vetoed by Maggie Hassan, a Democrat.
The state’s first GOP governor in a dozen years wrote “I am pleased that the State Senate today voted to advance common sense legislation in support of a citizen’s fundamental right to carry a firearm, joining neighboring states throughout the region and across the country,” Sununu wrote in a statement following the vote.
New Hampshire is bordered on the East by Maine and on the West by Vermont. Both of those states have Constitutional carry.
