Do you really THINK that people walk around armed? If so you are very wrong. My dad spent 3 years in the Army in the early 70’s and when I asked him he said he had a loaded weapon on base perhaps 6 times for an hour at a time.

I served on a SAC base in the 70’s - I worked Aircraft Security for the Nuke loaded B52’s. The only time we carried our weapons was while on duty - the only time we had our magazines loaded into the weapons was while in the security areas where the B52’s were parked (or the KC-135’s used for refueling). Other than that, the only people on base who carried weapons were on-duty LE. No one else carried weapons on base. The Army Posts are the same.
