Chief Jeff B. McCracken, director of public safety at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, issued the following statement today (April 29) regarding House Bill 937, which would amend various firearms laws:

“While intended to promote safety, this legislation allowing additional guns on public campuses actually would make colleges and universities less safe. Even allowing weapons to be kept only in locked vehicles is not secure. The thousands of vehicles parked at UNC-Chapel Hill are among the targets for break ins, and I’m concerned this legislation would increase that frequency. As a result, criminals would have access to more guns.”
