Frequently Asked Questions

What is the status of campus carry legislation in New Hampshire?

What are the main arguments for allowing campus carry?

Proponents argue that self-defense is a natural right, that gun-free zones create "soft targets," and that students, as adults, deserve the same protections as other citizens.

How does historical legal precedent apply to campus carry debates?

The historical "in loco parentis" doctrine, where colleges acted as parents, is argued to be outdated as modern college students are considered independent adults, making old gun restrictions inapplicable.
