That’s the opposite of every single other person’s experience. Weapons are NEVER to be brought on base by off duty, loaded or not. The idea that your step father would carry while on base makes my eyes bug out in surprise that he would take that risk. He would have been in great trouble if he’d been caught. And no one was carrying openly.

He carried at the Reserve station, not on a base, I made that very clear. He was not in trouble, in fact they were ordered to be on guard for attack. A reserve station is NOT a base, its a building in a civilian area and a high profile relatively soft target for a terrorist attack.
Yes, they were carrying openly.
Amazing how many people don’t know what they don’t know, but damned well can tell you what you know.
