Is it legal to openly carry a firearm in New Hampshire without a permit?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only in rural areas

  4. Only with a special endorsement

The correct answer is: Yes

In New Hampshire, it is legal to openly carry a firearm without a permit. New Hampshire is considered an "open carry" state, which means that individuals are allowed to openly carry firearms in most public spaces without the need for a permit. This right is protected by both the state and federal constitutions. It is important for individuals to be aware of any specific locations or circumstances where open carry may be restricted, even though a permit is not required for open carry in general. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because in New Hampshire, individuals do not need a permit to openly carry a firearm in most public spaces.
