I think you might be right about the rifle/shotgun thing.
I never said leaving a loaded handgun under the seat was a good idea, but the way the laws are written it specifically doesn't say you can't. It only says it has to be locked up if you don't have a permit. If you have a permit you can store it any way you wish. If you disagree show me the RSA that says so.
Not trying to come across as hostile but. Get facts before you speak about Gun laws you have no idea what you are talking about. Sambo is right about the Rifle and Shotgun "it's not may be right" It's he is. Seeing as how i know you will come back and say show me the RSA on it. Well here you go.
This is a FISH AND GAME RSA LAW..
207:7-a Disabled Persons. –
I. RSA 207:7 shall not apply to a disabled person who is suffering from paraplegia or who is suffering from the loss of, or the loss of the use of, both lower extremities and who has obtained a current license to hunt; provided, however, that such person must first obtain from the executive director a special permit entitling said person to hunt while using a motor vehicle, not to include boats with motor attached or aircraft. For purposes of this section, ""motor vehicle'' shall include off highway recreational vehicles and all terrain vehicles as defined in RSA 215-A:1, and snowmobiles as defined in RSA 215-C:1.
No loaded firearm, shotgun, or rifle shall be carried or transported with a cartridge in the chamber, magazine, or clip attached to the firearm, shotgun, or rifle, while the vehicle is in motion. The executive director may issue such a permit upon application in person or upon documentary proof of such disability by a licensed hunter. Such permit shall be carried upon the person of the permittee while hunting and shall be produced for inspection upon the demand of any law enforcement officer. A $10 administrative fee shall be charged once, upon application to the executive director for such permit.
II. The permit shall be perpetual. The executive director shall retain the records for such permits for a period not less than 7 years. Loss or destruction of the permit after 7 years shall obligate the permittee to re-establish eligibility.

"vehicle means a motor vehicle, aircraft, or powered or towed boat"
Again not trying to come across as a jerk. But do you live in NH? IDk. But when you come on a Internet forum and say you can do this and that. Someone looking for information will see that when the run a net search for NH gun laws. They may take it to heart and end up in a world of hurt. Again it would also be their fault for failing to confirm if that was true. Take it from us Native NH people you "Cant Do What Every You Want" when it comes to guns in NH. Yes even here in the So called Free state that people move to for more rights. We are still fighting the gun rights fight ( Not as bad) but we do have Anti gun "FREAKS" Who come here from NY/MA/NJ/CT and CA. Who flip out and call the cops on us NH people who carry guns. Wanting us arrested for it or any other thing they can find. Point in case here is a video of just that.
