Where to shoot guns?

[Republidog]

I was just wondering what NH laws were on firing guns on private land or state land. I know in other states a certain distance from all structures is required and some states permit shooting on certain areas of state land. How much land would one need if they wanted to do some rifle shooting on their own land?

I see that gun laws are fairly favorable in NH so this interests me. Can always hope for VT style carry.

It is unlawful for a person to discharge a firearm or to shoot with a bow and arrow or crossbow and bolt within 300 feet of a permanently occupied dwelling without permission of the owner or the occupant of the dwelling or from the owner of the land on which the person discharging the firearm or shooting the bow and arrow or crossbow and bolt is situated. Whoever violates the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a violation if a natural person, or guilty of a misdemeanor if any other person.

Natural person?  So if you wear birkenstocks it's only a violation?

If you've got a big enough yard you can shoot in it. If you're close to your neighbors, best check with them

There's also a range on lost nation road in Northumberland that isnt mentioned.

The general rule is 300 feet away.  It's a concept called "compact area."
