In the wake of Monday’s attack, students from the Ohio State University are adding a unique perspective to a bill that would lift the automatic concealed weapons ban on college campuses.
Several OSU students gave first-hand accounts of what it was like to be on campus that day and many claimed having more guns would not have helped.
But Katelin Nealeigh, a fourth-year OSU student who has a concealed carry license, says she felt powerless with only a textbook and pencil to protect her.
“I kind of felt at a complete loss and completely helpless more like a sitting duck with a broken leg you can’t really do much, you can peck at him but that’s about all you can do,” said Nealeigh.
Nealeigh doesn’t think the bill goes far enough because universities can still decide on their own to stay concealed carry free.
