In a seismic win for Second Amendment advocates, New Hampshire’s House just greenlit HB 1793, blasting campus carry straight to the Senate floor after the House Finance Committee Chair smartly waived additional hearings. This isn’t just procedural housekeeping—it’s a full-throated rejection of the failed gun-free zone experiment that’s turned college campuses into soft targets for madmen. Think Virginia Tech 2007: 32 dead in a so-called safe space where only criminals had guns. HB 1793 flips that script, empowering lawful permit holders—your everyday responsible adults—to carry concealed on public college grounds, treating them like the rights-bearing citizens they are, not disarmed sheep.

The context here is electric. New Hampshire, already a concealed carry shall-issue powerhouse with constitutional carry on the books since 2017, has been chipping away at campus bans for years. Anti-gunners love peddling the myth that colleges are ivory towers needing special protection from the pesky Constitution, but data from states like Texas and Colorado—where campus carry thrives—shows zero uptick in accidents, just enhanced deterrence. This bill shreds that narrative, exposing gun-free zones as criminal-safe magnets. For the 2A community, it’s a blueprint: Granite Staters are proving that when you prioritize self-defense over feel-good signage, liberty advances.

Implications? Monumental. If the Senate follows suit (and with a pro-2A GOP majority, odds are strong), New Hampshire joins the vanguard, pressuring blue-state holdouts like Massachusetts to rethink their nanny-state policies. Nationally, it fuels the post-Bruen momentum, where SCOTUS affirmed carry rights extend beyond city streets. Gun owners nationwide: cheer this, fund it, replicate it. The dominoes are falling—campuses next, then everywhere. Stay vigilant; victory’s in sight.
