We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :)
Please help by posting all issues here.
The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I'm a resident of NH, so I've never had to deal with that.
I assume you want it for reciprocity. Florida and Michigan won't recognize your non-resident NH license, but 20-something other states will (including those that don't require a license).
If it were me, I would simply say that NY...
I'm here for the sake of nostalgia. This used to be the premier gun rights discussion forum. I still check in once a day just to see if anything has changed.
