New Hampshire’s Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday successfully voted the proposed “permitless” carry bill out of committee. Senate Bill 12 will now go to the Senate floor for consideration.

SB 12, sponsored by Republican state Sen. Jeb Bradley, would repeal the license requirement to carry a concealed handgun, unless a person is otherwise prohibited. For those who choose to obtain carry licenses, which will still be available, SB 12 would also increase the length of time in which a license is valid.

New Hampshire lawmakers passed similar “permitless” carry bills each of the last two years, but both were vetoed by then-Gov. Maggie Hassan. With Hassan gone, this might be the year to get the law on the books.

Policing Should Not Be A Political Issue

Crime is a complicated topic, but there is an extremely simple rule that must be observed before one can begin to fight it effectively: One must genuinely wish to deal with the problem. Without such an elementary ambition, no amount of legislation, activity, taxpayer money or speechmaking will make the slightest bit of difference.
