Amanda Collins, 25, shows a 9-mm Glock that she is permitted to carry and use for self defense.
“A concealed weapon permit holder, mother and student at UNR (University of Nevada, Reno), Amanda wasn’t allowed to carry a firearm on her college campus because it was a “gun free zone.â€
That meant she was unarmed on a night in October, 2007 when she was attacked while walking to one of her classes.
You see, her attacker didn’t care about the “gun free†designation. He had his gun. And he held it to her temple while he raped her.
She had left her firearm at home because that was the law. A law that left her completely vulnerable when she needed a way to defend herself the most.”
