A photo of a Kent State University graduate open carrying an AR-15 on campus went viral, prompting the school to explain why the graduate was not punished.
Kent State did not punish graduate Kaitlin Bennett for open carrying the rifle because she waited until after she graduated to pose for the photo on campus, according to The Blast.
Only individuals associated with Kent State are prohibited from open carrying on campus.
