    Feeling that you are safe, and knowing you are safe are two different things. This girl needs something that would put her on equal footing with the guy who has evil in his heart.

    Dartmouth Student With A Stalker Problem Can’t Carry A Gun, According To School Officials
    August 7, 2014 by Ben Bullard

    Taylor Woolrich, a student at Dartmouth College, knows she’s being stalked. When she was living in San Diego, as a high school student, a man in his 60s began showing a sinister interest in her while she worked at a local café, and since then, no amount of legal cajoling has gotten him off her back – even though she moved across the country.

    It started when she was 16 years old; now she’s a 20 year-old junior at the Ivy League school. She took out a restraining order on her alleged stalker, 67 year-old Richard Bennett, but, according to a Wednesday article at Fox News, “it did little to keep Bennett away.”


    Woolrich says he constantly harassed her during her first two years at Dartmouth, stalking her on social media and sending messages in which he “promised” to fly across the country to see her at college.

    “I thought they were empty threats, but when I came home from school last summer, he was at my front door within eight hours of my plane landing,” she said. “That’s when I realized how serious it was.”

    Woolrich and her family called the police, and Bennett was arrested. A search of his car uncovered a slip noose, a knife, gloves and other items.

    Right now, he’s in jail in California, awaiting a court date later this month for violating the restraining order and for felony stalking.

    Uncertain as to her alleged stalker’s immediate future, Woolrich wants a gun for personal protection – and she wants it to be with her at all times, which of course includes the times she’s on the Dartmouth campus. But college officials are adamant that that’s not going to happen.

    After researching gun laws in both California and New Hampshire, where Dartmouth’s located, Woolrich realized both States have provisions that could afford her an exemption from their restrictive gun laws.

    But that exemption ends where the Dartmouth campus begins.

    “[Guns on campus are] strictly prohibited and we are not in the habit of making exceptions,” college spokesman Justin Anderson told Fox News. “But we certainly do everything we possibly can to make all our students feel safe.”

    That’s a relief – so much so that Woolrich says she will leave Dartmouth if Bennett is released from jail while she’s still a student there.

    “Every morning I check the inmate lookup online to see if he has made bail. I feel safe for now, but the day he gets out is the day I will have to leave Dartmouth,” she said.

    So, let's review. He has a materials for an extreme abduction and will wander free after a few minutes in jail, if he goes to jail at all, she is a target for his intentions, and she is left defenseless..............this will not end well for her.
    She has the propensity to become another murder statistic, and she is denied the Right to protect herself.
    I call bull(*)(*)(*)(*) on Darmouth...............another Liberal Progressive wet dream
    Oh, goody, another "gun free zone" set up

    Darthmouth has said they will do anything to make her 'feel' safe, not actually be safe, but just 'feel' she is safe.

    Not too long ago, there was a study released, giving a ranking of how free each State is. It was based on home ed., marijuana laws, gun laws, and basically the stuff that amounts to personal freedom. N.H. was rated at #1; the most free State in the Union. Live FREE or die. It's a travesty that the girl has to accept which choice was made by Dartmouth, on her behalf.

    Carry concealed, feel safer, and just don't bother to tell the school.

    That was my thinking exactly....if she never has to use it all well and good. If she does let them throw her out for saving her own life.

    I knew people at Virginia Tech when that nutcase was shooting kids. HE didn't abide by the no gun rule in effect at the time.

    He shot 49 people at will !! What would have happened if even 1 student in 10 had a concealed gun on campus and was skilled in using it?

    Never met a crazed criminal yet that abided by gun rules. The banning of your second amendment rights on campus is just turning students into fish in a barrel......
