“Why is a Soldier with a Texas-issued CCP systematically denied the right to defend himself at Fort Hood? “
It’s quite likely because soldiers are not allowed to carry concealed weapons; the Geneva Convention requires that all arms be carried openly. Also, ammunition suitable for personal defense or law enforcement (with hollow point bullets) is illegal.
So the real question should be why soldiers are not allowed to carry openly, with Geneva Convention ammunition. .45 ACP ball has as much stopping power as any hollowpoint.
Wow - she’s a credit to the force, a blessing to those around her. Woman of the Year, imho.
The body count at Fort Hood would have been lower if Texas CCP carrying Soldiers were allowed to do what was necessary to MAJ Mohammed.
But because the Soldiers are ruled by nonsense, it made Mohammed's destruction that much greater.
God bless you, Kimberly. You are an all-American hero!

I saw an interview with a Soldier on FOX earlier today. He claimed he was armed with a gun and clip in his boot. He was down the hall from the shootings. He could hear the shots and heard all the screaming. He said he wasn’t hiding, but stayed put.
A different article stated that she is 5' 4".
