Something else to consider. . . if you decide to fly into Boston
Mass still has an "assault weapon ban". Assuming you'd be taking a pistol, you can not have a hi-cap mag (unless it's pre-ban). Possession of a hi-cap is a felony in the commonwealth.
I don't know when you're planning on going, but yet another option is to apply for a Mass non-resident LTC. They are issued by the state police, are $100 and good for a year. I heard thy are taking about 8 weeks door to door.

According to the media everything is considered and ASSAULT weapon.
chuck also dose not swim , he lets the water surround him .
I figure when i hit 50 ill carry everywhere , until then i can fight and or run if need be , but i mostly avoid the situation .
yes there is always a tougher dog in the junk yard and some times there is no getting out of it and you have to come face to face with psychos .
I just figure when your number is up and there is nothing i can do about it , gun or no gun .
I have never claimed to be a bad ass and have never thought of myself as one , not for one second (well maybe one or twice when i used to drink a lot ,lol )
i do and have considered myself quite lucky in unlucky situations . Most people born and raised in the city (downtown , lower income neighborhoods) have similar experiences.
i wouldn't risk it. either bite the bullet (no pun intended) and mail it to yourself in NH, or don't take it at all. there are lots of stories out there about people getting the book thrown at them for a slight misunderstanding in gun laws in the northeast and they pay a big price for it. i wouldn't take that risk. you have a very small chance of actually needing the pistol for the short time you are there. sure anything is possible, but when you look at the odds and the risk you take i wouldn't do it. unless, of course, you are willing to pay to have it shipped.
i know someone will jump to the "but what if?!?!?!?!" and yes it could happen that you get jumped or something, but frankly the vast majority of us will never, ever have that happen. i am 100% for carry rights, but i personally don't go and get my permit because i just don't see the practical use. if you are smart about where you go, with whom, and when, its extremely unlikely you would need it. in some cases, it will simply escalate the situation to a more dangerous one. some people think it works as a deterrent but it can also raise the stakes. you have to be incredibly wise about when to pull a gun and when not to. for those reasons, i just don't see why you would want to run the risk of breaking the law or spend the extra money all to have it for a one week period of time.
off soap box.
I agree when your number is called it doesn't matter if you are getting car jacked or on top / bottom of the spouse, you are done. However i am over 50 and this last surgery took whats left of the wind out of my sails. I have carried for many a year with out incident. HOWEVER as i tell folks who attend my CCW class. Whether it is the paper, radio or tv news, You always here one of the people interviewed say. "Quote:

something that goes through my head when friends are bs'ing about the younger years of mixing it up, is the pink floyd verse.
you're to old to use the weight you use to need to throw around.
