Kent State 'gun girl' Kaitlin Bennett flees hundreds of protesters at Ohio University

Why does she need a bodyguard if she’s toting around a big gun?



ATHENS, Ohio — Gun rights advocate Kaitlin Bennett was chased off the Ohio University campus by a large group of protesters Monday when she made an impromptu appearance, according to reports.

The Athens News reports that Bennett, who gained internet fame as the Kent State “gun girl," went to the campus to film a video asking students questions related to Presidents Day, which was Monday. But the News reports the appearance quickly became chaotic as hundreds of protesters surrounded her, members of her conservative activist website Liberty Hangout, and her bodyguard.

According to the Athens Post, protesters yelled at Bennett, held up middle fingers, and threw water through an open window in her truck as she left. The News reports some supporters did give Bennett hugs.

from the above-linked article:

Bennett later tweeted that she plans to return to Ohio University with an “army” of gun owners for an open-carry walk through the campus.
