Nope, you don't need anything. No FID or begging anyone's permission up here to own firearms. Soon, there will be no pistol permits either!
Welcome to the "free state!" Free State Project - Liberty in Our Lifetime
I was trying to find out some information. I am going to be moving to New Hampshire from Massachusetts and own 3 handguns and 3 rifles and was trying to find out what I need to do as far as getting the guns there can I just bring them with me or do I have to have them shipped to a FFL. I have a concealed carry licence from MA and I know that I would need to get one in New Hampshire but I do not know If I have to get my new licence before I move and how to go about doing this

Welcome to the "free state!" Free State Project - Liberty in Our Lifetime
PS- You only need a "license" up here to carry loaded in a vehicle or loaded and concealed on your person.
Strap the gun to your side and walk up the street loaded all you want. Legal statewide.
You need your drivers license number to get a concealed carry in NH
No you don't.
State law is that you must switch your drivers license over in 60 days (30 if commercial). You can apply for a pistol permit as soon as you establish residency. Ie: the day you move in.
Thank you for the licence info
but can I just bring my guns with me or do I have to have them shipped to a FFL this will be thee first time I have ever moved to another state and I have no idea how to go about this
Congrats on your decision to leave The Peoples Republic of Massachusetts. Like Highline said, as long as you aren't bringing anything really serious with you then you can drive right across the state line into NH with your handguns, rifles and shotguns. Just don't have them loaded in your car during the drive into NH. Getting the state pistol permit is really easy. Once you have proof of your residence in NH (electric bill, lease agreement etc.) you can go to your local police department, fill out the application and pay the $10. They have 14 days to get the permit to you, mine came in a little over a week. Here is the link for the application, you can print it out at home, fill it out and bring it with you to save some time. http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/n...nts/dssp85.pdf
What city are you moving to? If I were you I would not join and or get caught up in the whole FSP(Free State Project.) When it first started they had good goals in mind and many native NHers supported their goal of more freedom. In the last few years they have gone straight down hill! They try and fight to many things at to many time and never get anything done. Smoking Pot in Public parks,Drinking in court/parks, nudity etc.. Their attitude is "I'll do what I want,when I want to do it." Much in the same way as a child!
What county are you moving to? Welcome to NH, Please leave your anti brain washing in MA!
THEY MAY TAKE OUR LIVES BUT THEY'LL NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM!!!!!
right now I am looking to transfer within the company I work for and I am not sure were within New Hampshire it will be so i can not tell you where I will be moving
As far as leaving my anti brain washing in MA I am moving to new Hampshire because I want to get away from this state and its oppressive laws and government. My ideals have never matched MA nor have my points of views or beliefs so I do not have any brainwashing to leave behind.
I visit New Hampshire every chance I get and very time I fall deeper in love with it. I am Finley able to realize a dream I have had since I first visited your great state many years ago.
Thanks to every one that has already welcomed me to your great state
