New Hampshire just dropped a bombshell for gun rights advocates: a campus carry bill that’s got the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) cheering from the rooftops. This legislation greenlights concealed carry permit holders to pack heat on college campuses, flipping the script on those ivory tower no-go zones that have long treated self-defense as a privilege for the elite. CCRKBA’s applause isn’t just polite clapping—it’s a full-throated endorsement of a commonsense fix to the real-world dangers lurking in dorms and lecture halls, where active shooters don’t send RSVPs.

Let’s break it down: college campuses have become soft targets, with mass shootings like Virginia Tech (32 dead) and UofI’s NIU (5 dead) proving that gun-free zones are magnets for maniacs who know victims will be defenseless. New Hampshire’s move aligns with data from the Crime Prevention Research Center showing concealed carry reduces violent crime—permit holders are statistically among the most law-abiding demographics, clocking conviction rates 1/10th that of police. This isn’t reckless Wild West policy; it’s evidence-based empowerment, letting responsible adults protect themselves amid skyrocketing campus assaults and mental health crises. Critics will wail about guns and students, but facts show armed good guys stop bad guys 94% of the time before police arrive, per FBI active shooter reports.

For the 2A community, this is rocket fuel. Granite State lawmakers are leading a domino effect—expect copycat bills in red-leaning states like Texas and Florida, chipping away at the post-Columbine hysteria that locked down campuses nationwide. It’s a win against the gun-grabbers’ narrative, proving self-reliance beats nanny-state illusions. If you’re in the fight, celebrate this, then lobby your reps: the Second Amendment doesn’t expire at the campus gate. Stay vigilant, stay armed, stay free.
