Until recently , NH gave Pa .
NH doesn't add anything over UT , but looked at the other way NH gives you the same as UT east of the Mississippi, except for DE .
Redundency in Permits is a good thing . As noted, sometimes individual States will get in a urination contest with each other and drop each other's recognition, fine tune their fine print, re-recognize, and repeat. Redundancy is good because less likeli for three way fueds. And with staggered expiration dates , if you have a brain fade, or one state is slow, the other will continue to cover you.
The Utah class is a fine class, and worthwhile in its own right . But you still have to fit a class into your schedule. NH you can print out the application, write a check, and drop in the mailbox within 30 minutes of right now .
NH processing times do vary a bit, albeit from lightning fast to reasonably quick . My current NH took 9 days from mailing to arriving to my mailbox . Mrs Biggfoot & Biggfootette's were sent in same Priority envelope, but I didn't look over their shoulders when they filled them out, and they omitted a zip code in one spot, and was mailed back to them. On round two, theirs took about 2.5 weeks .
Bottom lines :
If you don't frequently travel out West , NH is perfectly viable back up Permit.
If you don't presently have any NR Permits, and have upcoming travel plans , or other soon requirement, NH is the quickest. ( Looking at you Va State Police ).
