Is a Wyoming Non-Resident Permit Valid in New Hampshire?

No such permit issuedVerified 2026-08-08

Wyoming does not sell permits to out-of-state applicants (residents only — the DCI FAQ answers 'Can a non-resident obtain a concealed firearm permit in Wyoming?' with 'No.' Active-duty Wyoming military stationed out of state may still apply; a permit remains valid if the holder later moves away but cannot be renewed). For carry in New Hampshire, what matters is a permit you can actually hold — your resident permit, or a non-resident permit from a state that issues them.

Why

New Hampshire has no inbound recognition statute because none is needed — no license is required to carry. Any out-of-state permit holder (or non-holder) who may lawfully possess a firearm may carry. RSA 159:6-d addresses only outbound reciprocity for NH licenses; the State Police publish the list of states honoring NH resident licenses.
