Again I'm no lawyer but as I understand the law the way it's written is they the set amount of time to approve or deny. What did you fill out when you applied for it? Just the State of NH permit application with the state seal right? They did not hand you a another piece of paper that asked for references names and address's? Some departments try and pull that crap when the fact of the matter is the references part is already on the STATE application.
159:6-f Remedies. –
I. If any licensing entity or employee or member of the city council or board of selectmen, in violation of the provisions of this chapter, refuses to comply with this chapter, such entity or person shall be liable for reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred in a lawsuit under this chapter to enforce the terms of this chapter, provided that the court finds that such lawsuit was necessary in order to obtain compliance with this chapter by the licensing authority. Fees shall not be awarded unless the court finds that the entity or person knew or should have known that the conduct engaged in was a violation of this chapter or when the parties, by agreement, provide that no such fees shall be paid. In any case in which fees are awarded under this chapter, upon a finding that an employee, or other official of a licensing entity has acted in bad faith in refusing to comply with this chapter, the court may award such fees personally against such employee or other official.
II. The court may invalidate an action of a licensing entity taken in violation of the provisions of this chapter, if the circumstances justify such invalidation, and may require the licensing entity to issue a license or otherwise comply with the provisions of this chapter.
III. In addition to any other relief awarded pursuant to this chapter, the court may issue an order to enjoin future violations of this chapter
Can use that because they are not complying with the law (RSA 156-6) "The license shall be issued within 14 days after application, and, if such application is denied, the reason for such denial shall be stated in writing, the original of which such writing shall be delivered to the applicant, and a copy kept in the office of the person to whom the application was made."
If they come back and deny it you can then use this.
159:6-c Appeal From Denial, Suspension, or Revocation. – Any person whose application for a license to carry a loaded pistol or revolver has been denied pursuant to RSA 159:6 or whose license to carry a loaded pistol or revolver has been suspended or revoked pursuant to RSA 159:6-b may within 30 days thereafter, petition the district or municipal court in the jurisdiction in which such person resides to determine whether the petitioner is entitled to a license. The court shall conduct a hearing within 14 days after receipt of the petition. During this hearing the burden shall be upon the issuing authority to demonstrate by clear and convincing proof why any denial, suspension, or revocation was justified, failing which the court shall enter an order directing the issuing authority to grant or reinstate the petitioner's license. The court shall issue its decision not later than 14 days after the hearing on whether the petitioner is entitled to a license

Dean Attorney at law 603-230-9999 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************603-230-9999******end_of_the_skype_highlighting
penny@pennydean.com. She will also send you some of her cards that on the back have a Non-Waiver of 4th,5th,6th&14th Amendment rights. Here is what the card says.
"I do not waive any Constitutional rights. I hereby invoke my rights as guaranteed by the 4th,5ht,6th& 14th Amendments to the U.S Constitution and parallel state law protections. I do not consent to a search of my person,belongings,home or car. I do not consent to any further detention of my person,belongings or car. AM I FREE TO GO NOW? If not,why not? If not, I hereby invoke my 4th Amendment right to refuse permission to search (do not resist physically), 6th Amendment right to an attorney as well as my 5th Amendment right to remain silent. I will therefore remain silent until an attorney is provided."
Also important to note that due to the new ruling by the supreme court in order to invoke your right to remain silent you must tell the police you are invoking that right. Just remaining silent will no longer invoke that right you also under that same ruling only have the right to a attorney 14 days after being released from custody.
