Why “reluctantly”?

They are being targeted.

The enemy is broadcasting that they are being targeted.

So why any reluctance? People need to grow a spine.

GREG, You should not be doing this reluctantly or with a heavy heart. You should be ENTHUSIASTICALLY, CHEERFULLY, WILLFULLY, RESOLVEDLY arming your NG personnel, with the express purpose of simultaneously protecting them from Islamist looney-tunes on jihadist missions and poking a finger in the eye of our control freak mafia federal government.

My $0.02.

My heart would not be ‘heavy’. On the contrary, it would be lifted and renewed, frankly.

it is better that the state of Texas does it.
Two more days and those heathen outlaw motorcycle spawn of the devil members, would have started doing it.

In the early days after 9-11, the Federal Government placed Regular and National Guard armed troops in the airports nationally. The public thought that putting those evil and scary guns in the airports was a good idea. The Administration was determined to fight Radical Islam, not surrender to them as we are doing now.

The “National Guard” is merely the organized part of each State Militia. The unorganized part are all able bodied State Citizens (normally male between specified ages). And the entire Militia is supposed to be armed! That is one of the reasons we have the Second Amendment to our Federal Constitution.

It's about time we started acting like Americans and remembering our duty of self defense!!

The Democrat sleeze merchants at the Dallas Morning Snooze does their usual smear job on Gov. Abbot. No doubt the murder of five military men by a jihadi makes him sad, and he would prefer that the Muslim-sympathizer in the Oval Office would give the order to allow our protectors to defend their own lives as well as their fellow soldiers.
Shame on the media pukes who slant stories to favor the Worst President in U.S. history.

Now we need to put the National Guard on the Texas border. Close it down!

Heavy heart, Governor? Really? Or just PC CYA?

Abbott, don’t go appeasing the weak. When you make a stand, be proud of it.

See this all sounds good, means well...

But when it is recruiters, operating outside the security procedures at most military, if not all other government facilities, this Band-Aid means nothing...

Unless they add security, or allow one or more of the recruiter at these store fronts to arm themselves, while they are on the job...

Meaningless...

Arming your Guard troops is like giving a fire extinguisher to a fireman while he they are still in the station...
