New Hampshire: Governor Ayotte Signs Pro-Gun Reforms Into Law

Tuesday, July 21, 2026

On July 15, Governor Kelly Ayotte signed two pro-gun bills into law.

H.B. 1279 amends New Hampshire's self-defense laws to clarify that an affirmative defense can be raised when deadly force is used in defense of third parties. This law takes effect on January 1st, 2027.

H.B. 1365 amends New Hampshire's License to Carry a Pistol or Revolver application process. That process no longer requires applicants to provide personal references, employment information, or personal medical or mental health history. While New Hampshire is a constitutional carry state, many residents seek to obtain a permit for interstate travel. This law meaningfully increases privacy protection for those applicants. This law takes effect immediately.
