Update: NH Non-Resident License Processing Time

[HowardCohodas]

First, a useful page about non-resident pistol licenses is http://www.nh.gov/safety/divisions/n...nsing/faq.html. It contains a contact phone number.

Second, I called to follow up on my application and learned that processing time is now 4 weeks.

4 weeks!? Oh well.

I'm going to be job and house hunting in New Hampshire this Summer and have just sent in my non-res application yesterday. Summer is further than 4 weeks so I guess it's no bother to wait.

Today I talked to a real person (as opposed to just the info before leaving a message).

First, she said that the turnaround time is now 4 - 6 weeks.

Second, she had no way of verifying that they even received my application. Kind of disappointing.

Third, the check has not cleared the bank.

I'll wait two more weeks before I follow up again unless I receive it.

I sent mine in about 4 weeks ago and my check hasn't cleared yet either.

A friend sent in his 1 Feb and hasn't seen or heard anything. I told him to call them but it looks like they have no idea whats in the system. Oh well!

FINALLY! Finally got my Non-Res/Class A for MA. Sent in the application around the first week of April and just got it in todays mail.
I can tell you My record is "spotless"; I've had a MA. Firearm license in the past (lived in MA. before); turned in two NRA certificates on courses I took; proof of existing NH Firearm license also and it still took two months. I'm not complaining, just making an observation. They have 6-9-2008 for the date stamped on it. Seems it could actually be from being backed logged maybe???
$100. though for just one year......that sucks.

My NH non-resident permit took 7 weeks and that was about a year ago. I called to check on it and the lady told me when they deposited my check but it took about four weeks after that.

Took me and my Coworker about 2 months.... we just got ours yesterday.... Don't be in a rush ....

I have filed a lawsuit against the state, and have Rep David Welch looking into mine.

The law says they MUST issue within 14 calendar days or reply why not.

It has already been 30 days for me, so we'll see what happens from here. I don't really care, or need the permit, it's only about "what's right".
