I've been tracking this for a while and it looks like it's getting closer to fruition. My apologies for such a long initial post but I wanted to include all the info I have. Hopefully NH will join VT, AK, AZ and WY in exercising their Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights.
Initial article I found in April, 2011. New Hampshire possible Constitutional carry.
The bill was then vetoed by the Governor, but it was re-passed with a veto proof majority.

An update and good news from October, 2011. Read here.
This quote is from an article posted yesterday. Read here.
New Hampshire could soon become one of the most pro-gun states in the country – a sanctuary where the Constitution is paramount and Americans don’t need the government’s permission to exercise their God-given rights.
The bill is House Bill 536, sponsored by state Rep. J. R. Hoell, and it has already passed the House. The issue is “constitutional carry” – a concept which recognizes that Americans have the Second Amendment right to carry firearms without getting the government’s permission.
Granite Staters would still be able to get a concealed carry license – for the purpose of thwarting the Brady Law and unsafe school zones, and securing reciprocity with other states.
But the constitutional right of Granite Staters to carry concealed would not be conditioned on that license.
In addition, House Bill 536 would make a few additional improvements in firearms law, including extending the term to five years and explicitly prohibiting law enforcement from demanding more information than is required by this bill.
