In New Hampshire, who is prohibited from possessing a firearm?

  1. Persons under the age of 21

  2. Individuals convicted of a felony

  3. Non-residents of New Hampshire

  4. Individuals without a hunting license

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a felony

Individuals convicted of a felony are prohibited from possessing a firearm in New Hampshire. This is because a felony conviction typically involves serious crimes such as murder, rape, or kidnapping, which may indicate a potential threat to public safety. Additionally, felons are often prohibited from owning or possessing firearms at the federal level as well. The other options are incorrect because - Persons under the age of 21 can legally possess a firearm in New Hampshire as long as they have a valid hunting license or are accompanied by a licensed adult. - Non-residents of New Hampshire are subject to the same firearm possession laws as residents, as long as they are not otherwise prohibited from possessing firearms. - Possessing a hunting license is not a requirement for firearm possession in New Hampshire, although it may be needed for certain hunting activities.
