Just watched the video, very interesting and informative. The only thing I question that Dave did that I would question was refusing to show his CC permit. Can you do that in NH without breaking any law?

In GA we are required by law to show a cop our CC permit if we are carrying and if asked for it. The only time I have been stopped for a traffic offense I had my gun in the glove box. The cop didn't ask to see a permit because he didn't see the gun. But if he had seen the gun and he had asked to see my permit, I would have had to show the permit or else I probably would have been taken to the station house and booked for refusing his lawful request.

Just my HO, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that I should be required to show a CC permit since carrying either concealed or openly anywhere off of your own property without that permit is illegal in GA. Except that you can legally have a gun in your car if the gun is either visible or in the glove box or console. All in all, GA gun laws aren't nearly as harsh as many other state's laws, but IMHO no permit or license should be required by any state or local government in order to exercise a constitutionally protected right such as freedom of speech and the RKABA.

Yes. No license is needed to carry a loaded firearm openly on one's person in New Hampshire. Indeed, it's not even legally required to identify yourself to a police officer if they don't have a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed by you.

You don’t need a CCW permit to carry openly here in NH. Dave’s handgun is clearly visible, it is very clearly OPEN CARRY. No permit is necessary.

The only issue might be having to produce some kind of identification, even a library card or something (LOL!) to the officer, but I am willing to gamble that Dave knows more about those laws here in NH than I do.
