Pro-Gun New Hampshire

Pennsylvania and New Hampshire have reciprocal recognition of each other's Licenses to Carry (LTCs). While earlier reports noted that Pennsylvania might honor only NH resident LTCs but not NH NON-resident LTCs, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office has explained that that is not the policy of the state. While they did not intend to write a letter denouncing the practices of any specific police agency, they were clear that the letter to Mr. Slider (see the article posted here on June 7) was warning him that some police officers may interpret the law incorrectly at the time of encounter. They updated their web page, at www.attorneygeneral.gov/crime.aspx?id=184 , to say the following: "Note: It has come to the attention of the Office of Attorney General that there has been confusion over the applicability of Pennsylvania's reciprocal privileges with regard to the residency status of an individual who has been issued a valid license/permit. It is the position of the Office of Attorney General that recognition within Pennsylvania is based on the issuance to an individual of a valid license/permit by the reciprocal contracting state, and not on the license/permit holder's place of residence." In other words, they will honor NH NON-resident LTCs as well as NH LTCs issued to NH residents.
