I used to have to stand watch with an unloaded 45 in Bill Clinton's Navy. I am beside myself that we have people carrying unloaded weapons in country.

Well, whoever she is, a magazine needs to find its way into her pistol. She may not put on in the chamber, but that gaping hole needs to be filled by something other than sand.

Interesting that we both noticed the same thing. I also had to stand watch with an unloaded .45 in Bill Clinton's Navy, something that was considered insane and pointless in the Reagan/Bush41 Navy.
More than this, it is very dangerous. An outward sign of a relaxed threat condition like that invites attacks.
