Well that's a no brainer. But we are dealing with d.c. so there is no shortage of no brains. So, all you patriots that have been standing guard in defense of the military, maybe you can stand down. Or not. Have to see if they actually issue the order/directive/memo and see if they are allowed more than a barney fife amount of ammo.

So now the rate limiting step will be whose weapon?

Recruiting stations don’t have an armory, are they going to put 9mm pistols in each recruiting station and how will they secure them?

They certainly aren’t going to allow personal weapons.

And are they going to allow recruiters to carry a weapon when they go off site?

I just don’t believe they are going to allow this to happen. This will be the end of the story until another recruiting station gets shot up.

commanders already had the authority to “arm qualified troops at recruiting and other off-base sites.”

WHAT qualifications? All of us had be qualified on our weapons, so that SHOULD mean EVERY soldier.

two bits says the general brow beat Carter into signing the memo.

It makes sense as the military personnel are well trained in the use of firearms and should be armed. And because of the publicized jihad against the members of the military they should all be issued a CCW as well.
