Did a search.
An article in the UL has me confused about the GFSZA. The article states that a concealed carry permit allows one to carry a gun into or around a school zone as it meets both state and federal law. Is this just a NH thing for voting at a school polling location?

People who openly carry a gun into a school-based polling place would be violating federal law if they lack a concealed-carry permit, an FBI official said Friday.
The counter-intuitive advice - that a gun owner needs a permit to conceal a weapon if he wants to carry it in the open - comes as officials interpret the Gun Free School Zones Act, a 1996 federal law that restricts firearm possession in and around school property.
The law requires a gunowner to be licensed to possess a weapon inside a school zone, which entails public or private school property and public property such as streets and parks 1,000 feet around a school.
A concealed-carry permit, which is issued by local police, meets the licensing requirement for the Gun Free School act, state and federal officials say.
