KENT, Ohio (AP) – Kent State University says it will allow a rally in support of Second Amendment gun rights to be held on campus as long as no one brings a gun to the event.
The northeast Ohio school last month told recent graduate Kaitlin Bennett to stop advertising an open-carry rally because she lacked permission and was no longer a student.
Kent State officials on Friday approved a no-gun rally scheduled for Sept. 29 that’s being sponsored by a conservative student organization called Liberty Hangout.
Bennett attracted attention this spring when she posted a photo on social media of her carrying a rifle on campus.
Bennett posted on Facebook Friday that she plans to open carry at the event because “it’s legally allowed.”
