Why This Sexual Assault Survivor Is an Advocate for the Second Amendment

Melissa Quinn / March 18, 2016

When Kimberly Corban was a 20-year-old student at the University of Northern Colorado, a man broke into her Greeley, Colo., apartment and sexually assaulted her for nearly two hours.

Now, nearly 10 years later, Corban not only works with other sexual assault survivors, but also has become an advocate for the Second Amendment.

In an interview with The Daily Signal at the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this month, the mother of three talked about the importance of gun rights.
