Anyone from NH with a CCL? Need advice!

[sgtmac]

I am having a small issue with my town.
I just got out of the military and moved to a new town in NH. I went in and filled out the form to renew my permit, that was 2 months ago. I keep getting the run around, and the town is not following the rules set by the state, I contacted the state and they said I could get an attorney and take them to court but other then that I am SOL because they won't get involved.
NH is a shall issue state, and you are supposed to have a yes or no in two weeks. I know I meet all the requirements, basically if you can purchase a gun, you get a permit. That is written in the rules set forth by the state.
I call the local PD once a week, and they keep saying an officer needs to come to my house! A. that is not part of the laws. B. it's been 2 months, it's a small town with nothing going on. WTF!
I want to tell them to take the permit and shove it, but I am sure that is what they want. I keep telling them they are not following the rules set by the state, and they keep saying,"oh it takes more then two weeks", "we do extra stuff". I am starting to get so pissed I would move if I could afford it.
This is my third permit, but this is a different town. I have never had one take more then two weeks.

Sorry for the rant, this really has my panties in a bunch! Any advice or ideas would be great.

Thanks

Get the lawyer ! Laconia got sued and LOST a few years ago because they denied the local Chapter President of Hells Angels, He had no Felonies so they HAD to issue.
Penny Dean has a hot line for people in your situation Phone number is (603)- 225 - 4664
I bet you are in the Seacoast, Many of those towns are run by anti gun rights  socialists up from Ma.
DON"T FORGET PUNITIVE DAMAGES !
It DOES NOT take more than 2 weeks, State law says after 14 days they WILL issue. Here in Laconia I let them have 16 days because the Clerk was out with the flu.

I hate it when the local yokels get involved.  Here in FL it is state run, period.  No local involvement in the process other that getting a finger print card.

It's only administered by the Locals, the law is set by the State and has been upheld against several towns, including Laconia, Portsmouth, Dover, and Newington.

I had not either..... I just did a little googleing and found them. Every state has at least one grass roots org (Like a state version of the NRA) whose job it is to put the screws down on the state lawmakers. Not sure how much power the Pro-Gun New Hampshire group has, but it might be worth contacting them.....

..... I highly recommend to everyone to find your state's group and join the cause at the state level. Micro is just as important as macro in this fight we are in....... Being apart of the cause at the state level is very important.

I am in Somersworth, so you are right. I had a feeling that was the case. Thanks for the info, I will try those leads. I would get an attorney, but I can't afford it at the moment.

They will probably take it "Pro Bono" (for free) as it is a slam dunk. Somersworth does not have a leg to stand on.

I just got off the phone with woman that does the permits, her excuse is that she does not know what officer has it! I did not know that they had that many patrol officers, what a joke. I will contact the attorney you suggested, I alo contacted that website. I am so pissed I can't sit still. I have spent the last 14 years wanting to move home, now I just want to leave. I am so pissed that the frigging liberals have ruined my state. What happened to live free or die?
