New Hampshire just notched a massive win for Second Amendment rights as the House overwhelmingly passed a campus carry bill, greenlighting lawful gun owners to exercise their carry rights on public college campuses. This isn’t some fringe push—it’s a straightforward affirmation that the Constitution doesn’t stop at the campus gate. For years, anti-gun activists have treated universities as sacrosanct gun-free zones, peddling the myth that disarming law-abiding students and faculty somehow enhances safety. Spoiler: it doesn’t. Data from places like Texas and Utah, where campus carry has been reality-checked for over a decade, shows zero uptick in accidents or misuse by permit holders. New Hampshire’s move aligns with this reality, stripping away arbitrary bans that leave vulnerable young adults defenseless against the rare but real threats that do materialize on campuses.
Digging deeper, this bill’s passage in the GOP-controlled House (with a veto-proof margin, no less) signals momentum building across red-leaning states. It’s a direct rebuke to the ivory tower elitism that views self-defense as a privilege for the armed security guards patrolling admin buildings, but not for coeds walking back from late-night study sessions. Contextually, it comes hot on the heels of similar expansions in states like Florida and South Carolina, forming a patchwork of sanity amid blue-state hysterics. For the 2A community, the implications are electric: this empowers young adults—our future voters and carriers—to normalize responsible gun ownership early, countering the brainwashing of mandatory gun violence prevention indoctrination courses. Expect pushback from faculty lounges and the ACLU, but with public support for concealed carry at record highs (per Pew and Gallup polls), this could pressure even purple legislatures to follow suit.
The ripple effects? A stronger national narrative that shall not be infringed means everywhere, including where predators know victims are defenseless. New Hampshire’s House has handed the pro-2A movement a blueprint: legislate boldly, cite the data, and watch the dominoes fall. Eyes now on the state Senate and Governor Sununu—get this across the finish line, and it’s another brick in the wall against gun-grabber overreach. 2A warriors, celebrate this W and keep the pressure on. Your rights just got a little safer on Granite State campuses.
