Is there a waiting period to purchase a firearm in New Hampshire?

  1. Yes, 3 days

  2. Yes, 7 days

  3. No

  4. Yes, but only for first-time buyers

The correct answer is: No

In New Hampshire, there is no waiting period to purchase a firearm. This means that once all legal requirements are met, such as passing a background check, a person can acquire a firearm immediately. This lack of a waiting period distinguishes New Hampshire from some other states that do have waiting periods in place. The absence of a waiting period reflects the state's approach to gun laws and firearms transactions.
