I was on active duty during the period 1985 - 1993 and like you I recall not being able to openly carry personal weapons but we were at least allowed to have them.
When I lived in the BEQ at Marine Barracks in DC I bought a Taurus PT99 in Maryland but was required to have it secured in the Barracks armory until I wanted to take it to the range. A year later when I moved to off-base housing I checked it out of the armory and kept it at home.
What changes were made to that policy after 1993 I do not know.
The teachable moment here is:
An American Woman Took down one of your tiny zib brethern!
An American Woman Stopped Jihad Nidal!
An American Woman Doesnt take shit off any two bit, mealy mouthed, American hating muslim.
A Woman, An American Woman, bested your guy.
A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
By spreading this definition around, perhaps we can employ one of the more effective methods of deflating and defeating the fools who practice and promote it: RIDICULE.
Unless stopped and soon PC will DESTROY Western Civilization -- if it hasnt already.
PASS IT ON!!
THEN PASS THE KOOL AID!!
