You mean like all those bases in Iraq and Afghanistan where they are required to be armed............................................... Are we comparing an active war zone to a stateside base?? We have armed personnel on the base, they are called MPs. Its interesting to note that when there is any kind of a shooting on the base, the local “Police” arrive. Increase armed MP presence would be more appropriate. BTW, seen many knife fight victims as a 67H, they just don’t have the impact effect to be used by the MSM. They are out there but not news worthy.
There are thousands of civilian government employees, contractors and military spouses on Fort Hood - As a very first step, I think all of these people should be allowed to carry on post as long as they are permitted by state law to carry off post. I would also permit all off-duty soldiers to carry and I would leave the issue of carrying on duty to the discretion of commanders. That is just my humble ex-Army opinion!
Yeah those gun free zones are soo effective at reducing shootings. /s
