That's the law in NH. A permit is only required for the purpose of carrying it concealed or loaded in a vehicle.

Yeah but if a majority of real men wore the in plain view it sure would make punks and robbers think at least twice.

Billorites ... don't forget you can also carry concealed if the gun and ammo is separate in NH without a permit. I.e gun in one pocket and mag in the other.
