I think i posted something like this in the forums a while back. Anyway as most of us know the state passed RSA 159:26
159:26 Firearms and Ammunition; Authority of the State. –
I. To the extent consistent with federal law, the state of New Hampshire shall have authority and jurisdiction over the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing, permitting, taxation, or other matter pertaining to firearms, firearms components, ammunition, or firearms supplies in the state. Except as otherwise specifically provided by statute, no ordinance or regulation of a political subdivision may regulate the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing, permitting, taxation, or other matter pertaining to firearms, firearms components, ammunition, or firearms supplies in the state. Nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting a political subdivision's right to adopt zoning ordinances for the purpose of regulating firearms businesses in the same manner as other businesses or to take any action allowed under RSA 207:59.
II. Upon the effective date of this section, all municipal ordinances and regulations not authorized under paragraph I relative to the sale, purchase, ownership, use, possession, transportation, licensing, permitting, taxation, or other matter pertaining to firearms, firearm components, ammunition, or firearms supplies shall be null and void.

So i called the city again today ( Claremont,NH) Spoke to someone one and she said she only interpenetrates the city code for business and one other things. She then asked what i wanted to know and said she would try and help. I asked her about city code
Sec. 9-3. Weapons in public buildings--Prohibited acts. (a)No person shall knowingly carry a loaded or unloaded pistol, revolver, or firearm or any other deadly weapon as defined in RSA 625:11, V, whether open or concealed or whether licensed or unlicensed, upon his or her person or within any possessions owned or within the control of such person in a building owned or controlled by the city. Whoever violates this section shall be guilty of a violation and subject to a penalty of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). (b)The chief of police of the city, or his designee, may issue a letter of permission to any individual or organized groups, for good cause shown, allowing the carrying of firearms in city buildings for a specific purpose identified in said letter. Such permission shall expire at a time certain to be included in said letter of permission. (c)Law enforcement officers of the city and state shall be exempt from the provisions of this section. Gun clubs utilizing the firing range at the junior sports league facility shall be exempt from this provision. (Ord. No. 394, 8-12-98)
She said that i am right on that. That the state changed the laws with RSA: 159:26 and that code was no longer good. She then went on to say something i also already knew. That being that you can not carry in city hall because the court house is in the same building. She then went on to say that their is some state law about carrying in school zones and schools. I have not been able to find that RSA maybe someone can help with that. I know you cant carry in schools or school zones anyways because of federal law. I then went on to ask about another city code. Parks and retraction Sec 12-67 Disorderly Conductc)No person, except peace officers or other law enforcement officers, shall have or carry any pistol, switchblade, hunting knife, slingshot, dagger, metal knuckles or other dangerous weapons concealed on or about his person while in the park. She is trying to tell me that city code does not fall under RSA 159:26 and may still be good. I"m really sick of this crap the state and city's pass codes and laws then when people want to know what the HELL THEY MEAN. It's um sorry we can not tell you. She told me i would have to contact a lawyer and ask him and or have him call the city. Or she said i can set up a meeting with the city manager and sit down and talk to him about. As i do not have the thousands need to get a lawyer. I'M going to do with the meeting thing. I would like some other people to maybe come with me?
