relative to licenses to carry and immunity for law enforcement officers issuing certain firearms licenses.

This bill updates New Hampshire laws regarding concealed carry permits and adds legal protection for officers who issue them. It clarifies that residents and non-residents can apply for licenses to carry loaded pistols or revolvers for self-defense, hunting, or target practice, provided they are not banned from owning firearms by state or federal law. The legislation sets specific timelines for issuing permits within 14 days, establishes a $10 fee for residents and $100 for non-residents, and requires that licenses remain valid for all allowable purposes regardless of the original reason for issuance. Additionally, it grants immunity from liability to law enforcement officers who issue these licenses in good faith, shielding them from lawsuits if a permit holder later commits misconduct with a firearm.
