[Scott Roth]

I am selling my Sig Sauer P226.  It comes complete with a hard case, (2) 10 round clips, extra set of grips, trigger lock w/key, Fobus SG2 holster and two boxes of ammunition.  Recently cleaned and serviced, all is tip-top shape.  Like to get $500. for the set.  Need the money for other projects.  PM back here, or reach me at rothamerica@hotmail.com if interested.  Private sale only.  As soon as I can get a digital camera and take some pictures, I will post them.

how come 10 round magazines? Is it a refugee from MA?
Usually a 226 in 9 is 15 round double stacked

( I still love my 225 !)

[Recumbent ReCycler]

I'm not in a position to buy one any time soon, but you might want to give more details on which variation it is.  For instance, is it a stamped and pinned or machined slide?  German or US made slide?  Smooth or railed dust cover?  Which finish(es)?  Which trigger group (DAO, DA/SA, DAK)?

[Roycerson]

.9mm?  kinda puny ain't it.

[neggy]

I am looking at 3 guns right now...

this 9mm if the OP feels better and can get functional enough to do the transaction. If I get this 226 I'll sell my 225.  There is nothing wrong with a 9X19 chambered semi auto if it has the right loads and the right shooter in back of it. I'll admit that my SHTF gun is a .40S&W Glock22.

The gun I will probably buy if I can't get the 226 is a 44 Magnum Classic Hunter   talk about a hand cannon! I have an affinity for revolvers.

I also have a line on a 10mm Glock... third choice of the three current options. I have my doubts as to the ready availability  of 10mm ammo. In the practical world the 10mm isn't going to give me anything I don't already have in my G22

I don't hunt, I don't open or CCW carry anymore, I just like a wide variety of guns to take to the range and target shoot with.

What I really want is a S&W M&P in either 9 or 40. I have heard and read good things about them, and it will be something to add to our collection that doesn't closely resemble anything we already own.

FYI see RSA 159:10 Selling without license.  There was a story in the Nashua Telegraph the other day about someone being prosecuted under this statute for advertising a handgun for sale without a license.

.9mm?  kinda puny ain't it.

What? Haven't you heard that .0354 Magnum is all the rage?

unless you are running a gun shop, or hold a FFL , a NH resident can sell a rifle or handgun in a FTF transaction, providing certain requirements are met.

It is legal for a for a person who is not prohibited from owning or possessing a handgun, and a NH resident, to purchase from another NH resident who is not engaged in the retail business of selling firearms, or  a FFL holder, a handgun in a face to face transaction as long as the purchaser is " personally known" to the seller, or holds a NH resident pistol license.

I am not a lawyer so don't use the previous statement as legal advice

For goodness' sake, just go look up my earlier reference!  Rifle yes, but don't listen to neggy's advice if it's a handgun.  For any who would, I will save you the trouble of looking up my earlier reference.  Don't get me wrong: I think it's a ridiculous law.  I would just hate for anyone to get busted for a felony without their having intended to.

TITLE XII
PUBLIC SAFETY AND WELFARE
CHAPTER 159
PISTOLS AND REVOLVERS

159:10 Sale Without License. – Any person who, without being licensed as herein provided, sells, advertises or exposes for sale, or has in his possession with intent to sell, pistols or revolvers shall be guilty of a class B felony if a natural person, or guilty of a felony if any other person.

159:8 License to Sell. – The selectmen of a town and the chief of police of a city may grant licenses, the form of which shall be prescribed by the director of the division of state police, effective for not more than 3 years from date of issue, permitting the licensee to sell at retail pistols and revolvers subject to the following conditions, for breach of any of which the licensee shall be subject to forfeiture:
    I. The business shall be carried on only in the building designated in the license or at any organized sporting show or arms collectors' meeting sponsored by a chartered club or organization.
    II. The license or a copy thereof, certified by the issuing authority, shall be displayed on the premises where it can easily be read.
    III. No pistol, revolver, or other firearm shall be delivered to a purchaser not personally known to the seller or who does not present clear evidence of his identity; nor to a person who has been convicted of a felony.

159:8-a Sales to Nonresidents; Attorney General. – No person holding a license issued under the provisions of RSA 159:8 shall sell a pistol or revolver to a nonresident unless such nonresident has authority under the laws of the state of his residence, to purchase a pistol or revolver in the state of his residence, or unless the director of the division of state police, for good cause shown, has issued to such nonresident a permit for the purchase of a pistol or revolver. The attorney general shall, at least once annually, file with the secretary of state a summary of the laws of each state of the United States relative to the purchase of pistols and revolvers in such states; and a licensee may rely upon such summary in determining if a nonresident offering to purchase a pistol or revolver has authority to make such purchase under the laws of the state of his residence.

159:8-b Penalties. – If a licensee shall in any court be found guilty of a violation of any of the provisions of RSA 159:8-a, such court shall, for each such violation, order the suspension of his license for a period of 3 months, and may, in addition, impose a fine not in excess of $100.

I'm not going to get in a pissing match about gun laws in NH, but the sections you cite deal with DEALERS and not the general public.

It is perfectly legal to buy a handgun under the conditions I outlined in my previous thread.

For Christs sake this is a Liberty Forum and NH has stuck to the intents of the Founding Fathers and said we can buy FTF in NH without needing permits, FA-10 forms ( in MA you are limited to 4 sales a year unless you use a dealer and then the paper trail continues)

Here you go read this, then stop giving out bad advice that keeps people from the exercise of their God given rights.

New Hamshire Gun Laws

STATE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION

"All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property, and the state." Part 1, Article 2-a



PURCHASE

To obtain a license to carry, a person must apply to the selectmen or mayor or chief of police of the town where he is a resident.

And maybe if you read ALL of RSA 159 you would have found this from 1967!

Frequently Asked Questions about New Hampshire Gun Laws

Copyright © 2006 Sam Cohen

From June 2002 until February 2006, I was the volunteer who received and returned messages to Gun Owners of New Hampshire, which uses voicemail to receive all calls. The most common calls were questions about New Hampshire gun laws, often asked by people thinking about moving here from other states. I particularly enjoyed talking to people from our neighboring state to the south, because if it was the first time they learned about our freedoms compared with the government restrictions in Massachusetts, they were like kids opening Christmas presents.

I'm not a lawyer and cannot offer legal advice, but it might be useful to present a summary of how I answered typical questions about New Hampshire gun laws. DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed in this article are mine only, and are not endorsed by any organization. I disclaim responsibility for any use that might be made of the contents of this article. For legal advice, contact an attorney. To view New Hampshire's state laws (RSAs, Revised Statutes Annotated) on line, go to www.nh.gov and click on "Laws & Rules," on the left side of the page.



Q: What do I have to do to buy a gun in New Hampshire?

A: Go to a gun store, a gun show, or a private party selling a gun, and give them money.

If you buy a gun from a Federal Firearms Licensee ("FFL") — that is, from a gun dealer/gun store, including from a licensed dealer at a gun show — federal laws apply to the purchase; in particular, you must be at least 18 years old to buy a rifle or shotgun from an FFL, and at least 21 years old to buy a handgun. Of course by law you can't possess a gun if you're a "prohibited person" — meaning someone who's been convicted of a felony, or who's been convicted of a misdemeanor "crime of domestic violence," or who falls into certain other categories as well. The FFL will conduct an "instant background check" by telephone to verify that you are not a "prohibited person."


Now here is 159 section 8

159:8 License to Sell. – The selectmen of a town and the chief of police of a city may grant licenses, the form of which shall be prescribed by the director of the division of state police, effective for not more than 3 years from date of issue, permitting the licensee to sell at retail pistols and revolvers subject to the following conditions, for breach of any of which the licensee shall be subject to forfeiture:
    I. The business shall be carried on only in the building designated in the license or at any organized sporting show or arms collectors' meeting sponsored by a chartered club or organization.
    II. The license or a copy thereof, certified by the issuing authority, shall be displayed on the premises where it can easily be read.
    III. No pistol, revolver, or other firearm shall be delivered to a purchaser not personally known to the seller or who does not present clear evidence of his identity; nor to a person who has been convicted of a felony.

and here is section 10, and it means DEALERS, because 159 only applies to dealers and not face to face sales

159:10 Sale Without License. – Any person who, without being licensed as herein provided, sells, advertises or exposes for sale, or has in his possession with intent to sell, pistols or revolvers shall be guilty of a class B felony if a natural person, or guilty of a felony if any other person.


   159:14 Exemption. – None of the provisions of this chapter shall prohibit an individual not licensed under the provisions thereof who is not engaged in the business of selling pistols or revolvers from selling a pistol or revolver to a person licensed under this chapter or to a person personally known to him.

Neggy, I was aware of everything you quoted.  I wasn't talking about the purchase of a handgun, nor even of the sale of a handgun, whether or not exempted due to its being made to a person licensed to sell or a person personally known.  I was talking about the advertising for sale of a handgun.  Whereas various of the actual sale provisions make it a violation to breach them, the advertising one is a felony.  If the advert does not state that it is for sale only to persons exempted under 159:14, then I fail to see how the exemption would apply, just as in the case in Brookline.  Like I said, it is an absolutely outrageous law.  Absent my having seen the recent article, I would have assumed it would never be prosecuted for something innocuous like a personal advert for sale of one or two handguns.  And yet, as I said before, it just happened.  I have gone and looked for the article that I was referring to.  Here it is.  Again, I don't know why you're taking this is as being a pissing match, I am simply concerned that friends and fellow Porcs do not fall afoul of this law (unless, of course, they want to).

http://www.nashuatelegraph.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090213/HOLLISBROOKLINE01/302139891

BROOKLINE – A candidate for selectman in Brookline who advertised a pistol for sale by posting a flier in his store window is facing possible indictment because he didn't have a state license to advertise the sale of weapons, according to Assistant County Attorney Kent Smith.

The case is against William A. Batte Jr., who owns and operates the Brookline Village Store and his wife, Janice. Batte was arrested Aug. 22 on charges he violated the state's handgun laws by posting an advertisement for a Walther PPK/S pistol in the window of the store, according to court documents.

Court documents do not specify whether Batte actually sold the pistol, but state law says a license is required even to advertise a sale.

Batte declined to comment on the case Tuesday.

Smith said in an interview Tuesday that he will seek an indictment from the next session of the Hillsborough County grand jury.

The original complaint against Batte was dismissed Feb. 3 by a Hillsborough County Superior Court judge because no indictment had been brought within 90 days of the case moving up from district court, as is required by law.

"We had hoped to work it out without an indictment," Smith said, explaining why the case had been administratively dismissed.

Smith said Batte wouldn't agree to any plea bargain because he maintained his innocence.

According to state law, advertising or selling a gun without a license is a Class B felony, punishable by 3½ to seven years in jail. That is the worst-case scenario and an unlikely punishment in Batte's case, according to Smith.
