Pistol Permit Application Information
The responsibility to license people to carry a pistol/revolver is an important one. For that reason the Dunbarton Police Department will follow established guidelines set forth by the New Hampshire Attorney Generals Office for this purpose. This insures a fair and consistent process that we will follow in every case.
Pistol/Revolver Permit Applications are available at the police station, town hall or can be downloaded HERE. The completed and legible application must be turned in at the Dunbarton Police Station, Dunbarton Town Hall or returned via US Postal Service to Dunbarton Police Department, 18 Robert Rogers Road, Dunbarton, NH 03046.
Upon receipt of the completed application the Dunbarton Police Department will undertake a background investigation which will consist of a criminal and motor vehicle history record check. The investigation might also involve speaking with a number of personnel and professional references that the applicant has provided on the application. Depending on the results of the criminal and motor vehicle history record checks further research might be required.
After the investigation is completed and the application is reviewed a determination will be made as to whether the applicant is a suitable person to be licensed according to RSA 159:6 License to Carry. The applicant will be notified within 14 days as to whether or not their application has been approved or denied. If the applicant is denied the reason for such denial will be furnished in writing to the applicant.
If the applicant is approved a permit will be issued and the applicant will be notified that they can pick the completed permit up at the Office of the Dunbarton Town Administrator located at the Dunbarton Town Hall. There is a $10.00 application fee that is set by state statute. The applicant will need to bring a check payable to the Town of Dunbarton or cash to the town hall at the time they pick their permit up.
