Whatever did, the odds of their being another one who manages to multiply carnage like that has just dived.
Does that include on the battlefield?
Obummer will likely stop this until Jan 20. (asshole)
I hope it’s true. If it isn’t, Trump should make it a priority.
About time, indeed.

I think the story is true because I have seen it from other sources.
Now, I see problems with it. The problems are that it is “may issue” at the commander’s discretion, and that it only applies to officers above a fairly high rank.
My belief is that Obama is behind it as a minimal way to arm people on our bases, without really getting enough weapons into general carry to really improve safety. And to try to head off Trump who wants a much broader carry policy.
I don’t think this policy would have helped against Nidal Hasan.
I hope Trump expands it greatly.
It is a bureaucratic head fake in an attempt to avoid Trump fulfilling his promise.

No one who writes these stories knows what is involved when an enlisted person makes a “request” of this level of importance. But I’m glad that there is nominally a pathway now. But I can’t wait to see the amount of hoop jumping that will be required for an E5 or below to have this request approved.
No one wants to have a problem before DJT would have signed an EO on Jan 20.
Ping. Happy Thanksgiving........GnM
Will the Catch-22 be that the weapon cannot be allowed to “paint”, while wearing the dress uniform?
Can’t imagine where you would conceal it in a set of Dress Blues? Maybe a derringer in the garrison cover?
