Conservative student had campus police called on her after she discussed concealed carry

College Fix: Conservative student may pursue legal action against university after concealed carry incident.

A college student who was detained, questioned, and searched by police officers at a public university in Ohio might seek legal action against the university for refusing to divulge the name of the fellow student who called law enforcement on her, The College Fix has learned.

Leandra Westbrook was detained in May by Kent State University law enforcement after Westbrook was heard discussing her desire to legally carry a firearm on campus.

The incident was touched off after students overheard a phone call Westbrook was having with a friend, Campus Reform reported at the time. During the phone call Westbrook mentioned that it was “a shame that I cannot carry a gun on campus, considering I have my carry license.”

According to a university police report authored by campus police officer Sergeant Art Parker, “none of the cadets [who reported Westbrook] saw a firearm, but believed she may have been armed with one.” Parker, along with two other officers, conducted a pat-down of Westbrook and searched her bag as well. No firearm was found.

Westbrook subsequently told Campus Reform that she believes the reporting students made the call in “bad faith” and that “school officials are covering up the identity of the cadets who reported her.” Now, a source close to the affair tells The College Fix that Westbrook may be considering legal options to force the university to reveal who the reporting students were.  read more

  1. I never advertise my CC status publicly. Kind of defeats the whole purpose if you give everybody the idea that you’re carrying. Bad guys should be encouraged to dismiss me as a threat.

    That is, unless you’re not carrying, and you want to ‘trigger’ Firearm Derangement Syndrome.

  2. The police will not be our friends when the shooting starts. Why? Because we are the ones with the most guns, by far, and therefore we will be viewed as the biggest threat to restoring stability.

    Look how they stand down in places like Portland. They do what they are told to do.

    What other force is able to come into our homes and take our guns? Once the liberals make it legal, the police will do the dirty work and confiscate.

  3. Oh look, another democrat cocksucker pulls another dirty trick. These people won’t stop lying and playing dirty tricks until they’re beaten into submission. There is no reasoning with these kinds of shitbags.

  4. There is a reason voting is anonymous, in this God damned Antichrist atheist totalitarian cult-ure you are now forced to keep everything else in your life secret or anonymous or you WILL BE reported to big brother by one of his Marxist puppet minions. Only war could ever save this country from the Antichrist atheists who now rule all from Europe to North America.

  5. Sounds like we are living in the USSR or NAZI Germany these days. Everybody needs to whisper and hide their opinions. What a shame. The left has degraded our once great nation. They need to be exterminated like the vermin that they are.

  6. First time visiting this site.
    I am pretty conservative, and I agree with the sentiment of most of the comments on this article.
    However, the people cussing in their comment make me automatically associate them with the low-life crowd -who I have no desire to associate with- in my general area.
    To those cussing in their comments….. cussing only tells the people reading your comment that you are a lowlife, and your opinion should be disregarded.
