Sounds like the chief decided to make his own rules regarding issuing a permit.

Doesn't exactly sound like a poster child for CCW though.

Judge made a mistake IMHO. This kid is not the average law abiding citizen...

The kid is only 24 and already racked up a few arrest in the last 8 years:

drug possession
simple assault
driving while intoxicated
driving with a suspended license

None of which were prohibiting felonies.

So which one of those crimes is a disqualifying crime in NH?

Not a poster child but he met the requirements set forth by the state... it appears the police chief used discretion he did not legally have to deny the permit. This is a win if you look at it as an upholding of law to prevent arbitrary judgement of fitness for a permit

The applicant is not exactly squeaky clean, but apparently he meets the qualifications to receive a permit in New Hampshire. The law is the law.

I stand corrected (If I were in NH)

None of which were prohibiting felonies.

I agree. You cannot allow carry permits to be subject to the opinion of the person issuing them. Whether or not he's got a record, if he doesn't meet the "Don't Issue" criteria, you gotta give him a permit. You can't deny someone a right just because one person thinks it might not be a great idea.

Gun owners are our own worst enemy

And I see where you recanted csanc so to you. I assume gprimr just hasn't seen the other replies.

I am just saying he's no poster child for ccw.
