They were in a military office doing a military function. As such they are now a domestic target of foreign and domestic terrorist groups. Keeping at least sidearms should be allowed even off duty especially in Uniform of the day. The idea that the military has to lock up all it’s small arms weapons is a newer idea evolving from the 1900’s. Remember when our nation was founded it was Bring Your Own Weapon.
