Purpose: To assess the perceptions and practices of presidents of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU's) regarding carrying concealed handguns on their campuses. Methods: This study is a multi-wave national survey of all (n=103) HBCU presidents. Because of the homogenous small sample size valid parametric tests of significance could not be calculated. Instead, descriptive statistics are reported to describe item responses. Results: The majority (97.4%) of presidents were not supportive of people carrying concealed handguns on campus. They also perceived that most faculty (97.4%) and most students (94.9%) would feel unsafe if faculty, students and visitors carried concealed handguns on campus. The majority (97.4%) of presidents indicated they did not see any benefits to faculty and students carrying concealed handguns on campus. The majority of campuses have taken actions in case of potential campus violence, including: referring potentially violent students (89.7%), mass text alerts (84.6%), and have an active shooter plan in place (76.9%). Conclusion: Gun advocates have been pushing state legislatures to permit the carrying of concealed handguns on college campuses. HBCU presidents have indicated they see no benefit to concealed handguns on campuses. They will need to become advocates for their position to keep their students safe.
