STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
APPLICATION FOR RESIDENT PISTOL/REVOLVER PERMIT

ONLY MANCHESTER RESIDENTS CAN APPLY FOR A PISTOL/REVOLVER PERMIT AT THE MANCHESTER POLICE DEPARTMENT.

If you were to come into the Police Station to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon (AKA Pistol Permit), you would be required to complete a State Application and provide positive identification at the time. Two weeks later, you would have to return to the Station to pick up your permit.

What follows is the form that you would be required to fill out. By filling in this form and submitting it to us, you will be saving yourself a trip to the Manchester Police Department. Two weeks from now, you can come to the Station and your background check will be completed and you will be able to pick up your permit. Before doing so though, you MUST complete the actual application and sign it. Also, make certain that you have positive ID.

Please complete the following application and when you are finished press the "SUBMIT" button.
