open carry question

[djbridgeland]

So i picked up a firearm from Riley's, that i had ordered today. Anyways it came with a holster included, however the holster covers the entire gun.  Under NH law would that be considered open or concealed carry?  I want to carry it and don't have a ccw license yet, and I don't want to get busted if that is indeed considered concealed carry.

Mississippi has the ridiculous stipulation that a gun is concealed if it is "covered in whole, or in part". Plain meaning: if you dangled it by a single length of dental floss, it would be illegally "concealed" by the dental floss.

NH has no such silliness.

So basically open carry is illegal there unless you have a concealed license?

Yep.

I stay out of Mississippi for lots of reasons. That's just an example of the attitude that keeps me away.
