U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Yesterday, Governor Chris Sununu vetoed two pro-gun measures, Senate Bill 141 and House Bill 334.
Senate Bill 141: Sought to resolve New Hampshire’s longstanding problem with delays during handgun purchases, by abolishing the “state gun line” system that the State Police currently use for handgun purchases. Instead, the process for purchasing a handgun would mirror buying a long gun, which goes through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This switch in the process would not only reduce taxpayer burdens, but it would also have greatly reduced the number of delays experienced by those attempting to exercise their Second Amendment rights by purchasing a handgun.
House Bill 334: “ATV-Carry” – As amended, allowed for the carrying of a loaded firearm on an Off-Highway Recreation Vehicle (OHRV) or snowmobile. HB 334 also sought to clean up the law from when Permitless Carry was passed and a snowmobile prohibition remained.

SB141. A money income preservation is why he vetoed it. NICS is FREE.
When he was elected to his first two-year term, Constitutional Carry was the first bill Sununu signed, in February 2017. The best guess about why he vetoed these new bills was pressure from the State Police, who didn’t want to be embarrassed by their inefficiency and delays in processing background checks for gun purchases. (The state police “gun line” is the “point of contact” for handgun checks; background checks for long gun purchases go straight to NICS.) What’s missing from this NRA article is that HB334, in addition to the snowmobile/ATV relief, stupidly also incorporated HB141 (removal of the state… Read more »
