The downside to that is if someone sees you observing from your car with your rifle.
Warriors are no longer welcome in the United States military. They would rather have prancing pansies afraid of breaking a nail.
Cue up the Monty Python Precision Drill Team.
This is where people need to hold rallies across America in every town demanding to know why Barry is protecting terrorists and using American military as unarmed cannon fodder.
And why only Cruz and Trump seem to care.
Pentagon Refuses to Arm Military Recruiters - Tells Them to "Close the Blinds"
07/20/15 - Navy Admiral Bill Gortney, head of the U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) has issued a directive to all State-side commands regarding site security of the hundreds of recruiting centers, reserve centers and university ROTC facilities in the United States. Described by Nissenbaum as "modest new security measures" the Admiral specified to all hands to "increase surveillance and take basic steps such as closing blinds at the offices."
Surprised he didn't say lights out too!
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Obviously the solution would be to allow the recruiters to be armed, but that's not going to happen for the next 18 months, at least.
yep, America has been turned inside out by the musli-marxist alliance.
Eviscerated too!
Now, add on empowering the worlds number one terrorists, the Iranian connection and you have treason.
I’ll bet you if you were a fly on the wall, you could hear the White House chanting in unison
“Death to America”
FUBO
All by proxy
So if someone shows up to protect you, that’s a threat to your security?
Do we live in Bizarro World?
If a Muslim jihadist shows up to murder recruiters, that’s peachy keen.
But if armed Americans show up to protect them, that is to be reported pronto.
Well, the GOP is the right wing of the Democrat Party.
Lately I wouldn’t be so sure. The moderate wing maybe. Right is pushing it. They are way left of that.
Without a doubt.
I agree. I'd add that there is no way of vetting the volunteers. If the Army or whomever allows them to stay then they may feel that they'd bear some degree of culpability for any actions that they may take and that might end badly.
I'm a veteran myself. I had a brief stint of duty after I graduated from training on what was then known as 'recruiter assistance'. I find this a touching and patriotic gesture. I'm sure that the Army appreciates it, but I understand why they're uncomfortable with it.
I had just gotten out of the Marine Corps when the Gulf War broke out. I have mentioned this in the (now distant) past, but I've often wondered if there was some way that a workable 'veterans volunteer auxiliary' could be formed for exactly this kind of situation, where your records could be checked and there would be the sort of chain of accountability that the service likes to have in place would be in force?
You’re right. I hadn’t thought of that, but I imagine it didn’t take the recruiters long to see the potential hazard.
WTF??? Words just fail me...
Our own Army brass considers us legally armed citizens offering protection for unarmed recruiters as a security threat
Even DETAINING and calling police to arrest people who offer help:

report them to local law enforcement and the command if they feel threatened,
I imagine that not many of them will feel threatened.

ALLEDGED concerned citizens
Every recruiter should come down with green flu.
A cop on the phone or a gun in the hand? What a dilemma.
Gulen Charter schools rule the roost while rural districts are closed down due to poor performance on nonstandardized federal tests.
The end is closer than you think.
Americans cannot be trusted with guns!
—Er, what was that job again?
That's because they're not there to be tactical.
In the case of Oathkeepers, they're there to make PR photo ops and sell memberships. Judging from the articles in social media, they've succeeded.
In the case of the three-percenters, not so much the same thing, as they don't have a national group looming over them.
I also searched for "Army Command Operations Center-Security Division" - there is no such thing. I am blaming that on lousy reporting from Stars and Stripes, which is an AP outlet and no longer independent.
IF they were referring to USAREC, they DO have a Security Division, and that is where such directives for the recruiters would come from (however misguided and PC they would be).
One note on the recruiters, having been a recruiter for the Guard myself: our orders come from the state, not the Fed. NORTHCOM and USAREC send policy directives and such for recruiting operations, but the Governor overrides everything, through his State Adjutant General (a 2-star). If the Governor tells us to carry while on duty, we carry.
