Madison Gesiotto is not your average law student. Set to graduate in May from Ohio State University’s law school, Gesiotto was crowned Miss Ohio in 2014; is a conservative commentator for Fox News, CNN and MSNBC; and is also a columnist for The Washington Times

On Monday, Gesiotto joined Colion Noir on NRATV’s “CN Live” for a discussion of campus carry in the wake of the terror attack on the OSU campus. Ohio law currently allows for each individual university to determine whether it will allow concealed carry on campus, and OSU administrators have elected not to afford students that protection.

“This creates what I like to call a ‘victim target zone’ on campus,” Gesiotto says. “It leaves students like me and my classmates unable to legally defend ourselves, and especially vulnerable to attack.” 

Gesiotto is adamant in her belief that Ohio universities should allow students to carry on campus. “We should be empowered to protect ourselves, and right now, we’re not.”

Standing Guard | The NRA is Strong

The strength of the NRA is, and has always been, our membership. Without our millions of members, we would not be able to effectively rally behind elections for pro-freedom politicians; just as importantly, if not for our large membership, our representatives in office would not feel the same urgency to listen to us in this constitutional republic.
