I fully agree and is why I am asking. Last I heard they were not allowed to have ready and functional weapon.

Air Force Security Forces do and always have fully loaded weapons. I believe there was a report several years ago about Marines pulling security at Navy bases not allowed to carry loaded weapons, but I don't know how that turned out or if that is still the case.

I should clarify this is only when they are on duty performing law enforcement or security duty. Except for a few exceptions, weapons and ammo are turned in to the armory at the end of shift.
