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In 2017, New Hampshire repealed the state’s concealed carry permit requirement.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 800 451-1002.
Different Types of Gun Crimes
New Hampshire is somewhat lenient with its gun crimes but still has many restrictions. Specifically, you can only carry and use a firearm in accordance with what the law allows. Failing to follow the law may result in a harsh gun crime charge and aggressive prosecution. There might even be public pressure to convict you, so it is vital to work with a legal team with the talent and experience to handle virtually any firearm offense case.
Different types of firearm offenses in New Hampshire include:
- Carrying or owning a firearm that is strictly outlawed, even regarding private collections.
- Carrying or owning a firearm against a temporary court order, such as most restraining orders, while a domestic violence investigation is pending.
- Carrying or owning a firearm after being convicted of certain felony drug charges.
- Using a firearm while committing any crime, especially those against a person.
- Giving, selling, or loaning certain firearms to a minor and under certain conditions.
- Storing a firearm in a place a minor can access and later uses.
