As a current student at West Virginia University, I am writing to express concern and opposition to the proposed West Virginia Senate Bill 246, which would allow licensed staff, employees, and students at public universities to carry concealed weapons on college campuses and allow storage of these deadly weapons within campus residential halls.
College campuses have a historic reputation of rape culture and high rates of sexual assault.
Allowing concealed carry of deadly weapons and storage of these weapons on campus poses a prominent threat to the students who reside on these campuses that allows for an increased opportunity for sexual violence against students that can be more deadly and traumatizing than before.
