More and more States are recognizing their citizens right to self defense, this time NH. With any luck the trend will continue.
From the link:
Republican Gov. Chris Sununu has signed legislation removing the licensing requirement for carrying concealed firearms. A representative from the National Rifle Association says that makes New Hampshire the 12th state that doesn’t require a license or permit.
Now anyone who isn’t prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a gun can carry it concealed without a license. The previous law gave police chiefs and local officials the discretion to decide if someone was ‘‘suitable’’ to carry a gun concealed.

Regressives are now free to have another hissy fit.
I would be very surprised if the ultra Left states like California and New York ever do this too.
Sure I would like to see it. But I doubt it will ever happen in my lifetime.
Here is the problem with all this: Even if states are forced by court to allow citizens to carry firearms, that doesn't mean the laws have to back them up.
Here in my state, I would never hesitate to use deadly force if needed because our legislators wrote the laws that favor us--the armed victim. However even if I could use my license in NY or California, I would be very fearful because of how they view armed citizens.
For armed citizens to make a difference, laws have to be provided to support people who need guns to get out of a bad situation. If the laws (and prosecutors) are against you, you might as well leave the gun home.
I agree, I never plan on going there much carrying a gun there, but wouldn't it be great for force some shit down their throats for a change?
Yeah, but my point is it really won't help the people that much. When our CCW passed, the police really looked down on it. They really gave you a hard time if they found you with a gun and permit. It took some time and a few lawsuits, but the cops are finally favoring CCW's here.
In fact there was a story just a few months ago about an officer that responded to an auto accident call. He was ambushed by a gunman who shot the officer, and then the officer somehow ended up in a physical fight with the criminal. A CCW holder seen what was going on, stopped his car, shot and killed the gunman thus saving the officers life.
Of course it never made the "Trump and Russia" level of reporting, but stories like this are out there if you really look for them.
