The New Hampshire Legislature is considering a bill known as “campus carry” that would allow adults to carry firearms on publicly funded college campuses, including the University of New Hampshire. Under current New Hampshire law, a permit is not required to carry a handgun openly or concealed. However, colleges and universities are allowed to declare themselves gun-free zones. The proposed legislation would remove that authority. Students are divided on the issue. UNH Police Chief Steve Lee has said allowing firearms on campus would detract from overall safety — not only by making fights or altercations more dangerous, but by creating confusion during a campus-wide safety threat.
