New Hampshire Firearm Offense Attorneys

Gun Laws & Violations in New Hampshire

In 2017, New Hampshire repealed the state's concealed carry permit requirement. However, do not be mistaken by thinking that the firearm and weapons laws in the state are so lenient that you do not need to worry if you are accused of a firearms violation. If convicted, you can still suffer heavy penalties, including incarceration and the removal of your Second Amendment Right to keep and carry a firearm.

At Shaheen & Gordon, P.A., our New Hampshire gun crime attorneys believe in the importance of respecting and protecting your Second Amendment Rights. If you have been accused of a gun-related crime, then you should act immediately by calling (888) 801-9916.
